High-dose-rate brachytherapy was introduced at this hospital for the treatment of gynaecological malignancy in 1985. A retrospective analysis was performed of 103 patients with cervix cancer treated with this technique from 1985 to June, 1993. The patients were analyzed for treatment parameters, response, survival, relapse and toxicity. Five-year survival was 78% for Stage 1B, 72% for Stage 2A, 42% for Stage 2B and 29% for Stage 3B. The severe late toxicity rate was 4.9%. These results are similar to reported international series that have used either low-dose-rate or high-dose-rate brachytherapy.
