Objective: HDR brachytherapy to the vaginal cuff using rigid intracavitary cylinders has a limited capacity to adapt to patient-specific anatomy.

Methods and materials: 25 patients receiving postoperative vaginal cuff brachytherapy with a high-dose rate vaginal cylinders were enrolled in this prospective data collection study.

This study describes the use and dosimetry of a new method of anatomically conformal post-operative vaginal cuff HDR brachytherapy using an intra-vaginal balloon applicator.

There was no significant difference in the outcome between patients who received vaginal cuff brachytherapy compared to those who received pelvic external beam radiation treatment.

Animals in group 2 had two sutures of 2-0 polyglactin placed to incorporate the full thickness of the bladder wall and the vaginal cuff.

The external beam dose was between 45 and 50.4 Gy, and all patients received 10 Gy in 2 fractions of HDRB to the vaginal cuff.
