A dosimetric comparison of volumetric modulated arc therapy with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy in the treatment of cervical cancer

Background: External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is essential in the management of locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is thought to achieve higher conformity to the planned target volume (PTV) and better sparing of organs at risk (OAR) when compared to thre...
