Popis: We evaluated dose optimization for the treatment of cervical cancer using Buchler's high-dose-rate (HDR) remote-control-afterloading-system (RALS). When Buchler's system is used for intracavitary treatment, the irradiation times for the tandem and ovoid sources should be selected separately. The effects of variation of the tandem-to-ovoid dose ratio on the dose distribution are described.
