Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Image guided Adaptive Brachy therapy using information with PET CT   Dose de-escalation to CTV-HR (Total dose up to 85Gy) will be considered if Change in SUVmax more than or equal to 50% from baseline (SUVmax Baseline-SUVmax at first Brachytherapy session) and MTV is less than 30cc. (Both criteria met) If anyone criterion only met moderate dose will be considered i.e. EQD2 between 85-90 Gy depending upon tolerance of OARs. If both criteria not met but the tumor volume can be encompassed with intracavitary brachytherapy (i.e. less than 4cm) then it will be tried for dose escalation between 90- 95 Gy as per the tolerance allowed for OARs. (Otherwise will be considered for IC along with IS brachytherapy)

Brief Summary   Project title is Assessing the feasibility, toxicities and efficacy of 18-FDG PET CT guided dose optimization for radiotherapy treatment in locally advanced cervix carcinoma- A Prospective Phase 2, Pilot study

External beam pelvic radiotherapy with concurrent cisplatin-based chemotherapy and brachytherapy is standard of care for locally advanced uterine cervical cancer (LAUCC). Recently several studies have investigated the use of image-guided brachytherapy in cervical cancer, which help in optimizing radiation doses to post external beam radiotherapy target volume while minimizing normal tissue toxicity using three dimensional (3D) brachytherapy planning. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided planning can give the best soft tissue resolution and is the method of choice for image-based brachytherapy; however, its use is limited by MRI availability and lack of availability of MR-compatible applicators, and the inability to use MRI guided planning in patients with metallic implants.
Some studies have been done utilizing metabolic tumor volume information from 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging for dose adaptation or dose escalation in LAUCC radiation planning. Many authors published regarding the use of FDG-PET with or without CT in brachytherapy planning, and the results of these studies demonstrated the feasibility of planning based on FDG-PET. Moreover PET gives additional baseline information about regional, distant metastases for staging purpose as well as information on metabolic treatment response post chemoradiotherapy. Recently Kim et al. reported its prognostic significance also in terms of poor disease-free survival and overall survival if post external beam radiotherapy, patients had change in tumor SUVmax (maximum standardized uptake value) less than 50% from baseline. In this study, we want to assess the feasibility toxicities and efficacy by using FDG-PET/CT guided dose-volume optimization of most commonly prescribed fractionation regimen in our department for pelvic external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy in LAUCC.
To assess the feasibility toxicities and efficacy by using FDG-PET/CT guided dose-volume optimization of most commonly prescribed fractionation regimens in our department in LAUCC. There is limited experience on PET Guided Radiotherapy specially IGBT in India.
FDG-PET/CT guided dose-volume optimization in LAUCC is feasible, tolerable and efficacious and it can be considered as an alternative to MR guided image guided brachytherapy reported in literature.
