High Dose Rate Brachytherapy in the Treatment of Cervical Cancer: Preliminary Experience with Cobalt 60 Radionuclide Source—

High Dose Rate Brachytherapy in the Treatment of Cervical Cancer: Preliminary Experience with Cobalt 60 Radionuclide Source—

Iridium-192 is widely used for high-dose rate brachytherapy. Co-60 source with similar geometric and dosimetric properties are now available. It has a longer half life but higher energy than Iridium-192. If Co-60 source can produce similar results, it will be more economical for low resource setting...
