Abstract: Objective: To explore the value of implanted intensity-modulated bmchytherapy for recurred cervical carcinoma. Metheds: A total of 25 cases of recurred cervical carcinoma were enrolled into the trial group which were treated with pelvic implanted aftedoading intensity-modulated brachytherapy. The other 25 patients with recurred cervical carcinoma treated with routine brachytherapy during the same pedod were en-rolled into the control group. Results: There were 20 cases with CR and 5 cases with PR in the trial group, and 10 cases with CR, 7 cases with PR, 4 cases with SD and 4 cases with PD in the control group, with a signifi-cant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). In the trial group, there were 5 cases with vaginal-rectal fis-tula and 1 case with grade 3 enteritis. In the control group, there were 3 cases with vaginal-rectal fistula. Con-dusion: Pelvic implanted intensity-modulated brachytherapy for recurred cervical carcinoma is satisfactory with better short-term efficacy than that of the routine brachytherapy and tolerable side effects.
