Recommendations from gynaecological (GYN) GEC ESTRO working group (II): concepts and terms in 3D image-based treatment planning in cervix cancer brachytherapy — 3D dose volume parameters and aspects of 3D image-based anatomy, radiation physics, radiobiology
Pötter R, Haie-Meder C, Van Limbergen E, et al. · GEC-ESTRO
DoseLab summary
The second GEC-ESTRO gynecological recommendations: the dose–volume parameters for image-based cervix brachytherapy (D90 and D100 for the targets, D2cc and D0.1cc for the organs) and how to report them, with notes on radiobiology and EQD2. Citation checked against Europe PMC.
Why this is useful
Why cervix brachytherapy plans are judged by D90 and D2cc, and how those numbers are added up in EQD2.
