EMBRACE principles of EBRT and BT

Summary:

This session introduces the EMBRACE study principles focusing on External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) and Brachytherapy (BT) for cervical cancer. It explains the importance of precise tumor targeting, dose prescription, and planning to improve treatment outcomes. The course covers dose-effect relationships, managing uncertainties, and global clinical data related to treatment effectiveness. Key considerations include balancing treatment accuracy with minimizing risks to organs at risk (OARs) and discussing study results that highlight the benefits of adaptive brachytherapy in improving local tumor control.
