Clinical outcomes of patients treated with template-based high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy boost for post-operative recurrent gynecological malignancies: A retrospective analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report the clinical outcomes in patients treated with Martinez universal perineal interstitial template (MUPIT)-based interstitial brachytherapy boost for primary and recurrent vault and vaginal cancers, and to perform a comparative analysis with our previously published series of similar patients.

Material and methods

One hundred and seventeen patients treated between January, 2009 and December, 2015 were evaluated. Descriptive statistics for the patterns of relapse, local recurrence-free survival (LRFS), disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and late toxicities were carried out. Kaplan-Meier curves were used for survival analysis. All variables with the potential to affect outcomes were tested using log-rank test for statistical significance.
