High dose rate (HDR) remote afterloading intracavitary brachytherapy is an effective treatment modality which has some advantages over low dose rate (LDR) techniques for gynaecological cancer. Optimization is one of the possibilities of modern brachytherapy techniques, especially the stepping source technology. The use of the term 'optimization' implies achieving the desired optimum dose distribution by changing some parameters of the treatment. The aim of this study was to theoretically evaluate the optimization possibilities by modifying dwell times and dwell positions of the uterine and vaginal sources.
