Multichannel brachytherapy well tolerated by uterine cancer patients
By
Shalmali Pal
For patients with stage I uterine cancer, the standard treatment of undergoing hysterectomy is drastic but the results are quite positive. However, for women with co-morbidities that preclude surgery, brachytherapy is a feasible option. At the 2005 American Brachytherapy Society (ABS) meeting in San Francisco, Dr. Ajay Bhatnagar shared his group's experience with a multichannel uterine brachytherapy applicator, known as the Rotte-Y applicator.
