Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Image guided brachytherapy (IGBT) has been introduced for the treatment of cervical cancer. By using IGBT, precise treatmet can be done and prpblems to be improved in the dose reduction of organs at ris were clarified. The purpose of this study is to create the new vaginal spacer to decrease the rectal dose for the clinical treatment. However, not only the spacer, new applicator, which is suitable for the Asian was turned out to be indispensable for the completion of our aim during the development of spacer. Threofore, we have to combine these two creations and now we have been creating these two devices.
