3.6 Gy, 5.3 Gy and 4.6 Gy (p=0.045), respectively. Needle number showed inverse correlation with D2(r) (p=0.0264) and D1(r) (p=0.0433) parameters. Volume of HR-CTV correlated with D2(r) (r 2 =0.58) and D2(s) (r 2 =0.71). Conclusion Dosimetric results of combined intracavitary-interstitial IGABT were comparable to international literature. Dosimetric quality of these plans was significantly higher than intracavitary 2D and 3D optimized plans. Although 3D optimisation improved the quality of conventional 2D plans, IGABT plans resulted in even more homogeneous dose distribution and significantly lower doses to organs at risks.

Material and Methods Material/Methods: Between March 2005 and April 2016 17 patients underwent HDR-BRT or HDR-BRT after external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) as definitive treatment. Median age was 79 years (range, 60-95), median KPS 90% (range, 60-100). Histology was endometrial adenocarcinoma in 14 (82%) and non-endometrial in 3 (18%) patients. In 15 (88%) patients FIGO clinical stage was I and in remaining 2 (12%) III. All patients were evaluated with computed tomography (CT) and endometrial biopsy, in 2 cases also magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was done. Using the Fletcher applicator, a CT-based planning HDR-BRT was delivered. Follow-up was performed with physical examination, cervical cytology and CT or MRI. Local control (LC) was obtained when there was an interruption of vaginal bleeding. Results Results: All patients had a clinical LC, table 1 shows dose schedules used. After a median follow-up of 36 months (range, 6-131), 3 and 6 years LC rates were 86% and 69%, respectively. Cancer specific survival (CSS) at 1, 2 and 6 years was 93%, 85%, 85%, respectively. Age, stage, dose and type of radiotherapy did not result significant prognostic factors for LC and CSS. Only histology significantly influenced LC: for high risk histology (i.e., non-endometrial carcinoma or grade (G)3 endometrial adenocarcinoma) LC was 73% at 1 year and 36% at 6 years, for low risk histology (i.e. G1-2 endometrial adenocarcinoma) was 100% at 1 and 6 years (p=0.05). Acute toxicity was registered in 2 (12%) patients: G2 nausea and G2 proctitis in 1 patient (6%), G2 diarrhea, G2 anemia and G2 proctitis in 1(6%) patient. Two patients (12%) had G1 late rectal bleeding. Conclusion Conclusion: Our data show a good LC particularly in patients with stage I low risk histology endometrial cancer. Though number of patients is limited, definitive HDR-BRT could be an alternative treatment option for inoperable elderly patients with good compliance and limited toxicity. Histology is a prognostic factor for LC.
HDR-BRT = high-dose rate brachytherapy EQD2: Equivalent dose of 2 Gy per fraction calculated using the equation EQD2 = ([d+ α/β]/[2Gy+α/β]) derived from linear quadratic model.
