Little is known about the effects of intracavitary brachytherapy (ICB) performed in the presence of pyuria resulting from external beam pelvic irradiation for cervical cancer (CC). A retrospective study of one decade of ICB for CC showed that brachytherapy was performed in the presence of pyuria in 26 women. Twelve women without pyuria during ICB served as a control group. Antibiotic therapy was routinely administered during intracavitary application. The crude survival rate at 5 years was 39% in patients with pyuria and 42% in women without pyuria; the corresponding local recurrence rates were 23% and 17%; the serious complication rates were 12% and 0% respectively. Intracavitary brachytherapy in the presence of pyuria may have a limited adverse effect on the outcome of women with cancer of the cervix.
