What dose/fractionation do you use when treating SCC of the vagina with vaginal cylinder brachytherapy after EBRT?
With stage I/II vaginal cancer and an excellent response to 4500cGy EBRT with <5mm residual thickness of tumor remaining, what is your dose/fractionation when treating with vaginal cylinder brachytherapy? Do you prescribe to 0.5cm from the surface of the cylinder?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Academic Institution
Typically, we give 5Gy x 3Fx prescribed to a depth of 5mm. However, this may be more than necessary. See this discussion: https://www.themednet.org/question/270
