  • Why this course?

    2D Brachytherapy was used for cervical cancer in the past. Local control was 75-95% for early and 30-65% for advanced tumours. • • • Now, MRI guided brachytherapy leads to impressive results. In EMBRACE-I study, local control was 98% in stage IB1 to 90% in stage IV. Morbidity was low. • • • CT-based brachytherapy is a low-cost alternative to MRI. Early experience is favorable. • • • This course supports transition to CT-based brachytherapy.

  • Target Audience

    Radiation oncologists • Medical physicists • Radiation therapy technologists • Exclusively participants from India.

Kari Tanderup

Professor Kari Tanderup, PhD, Department of Oncology, Aarhus University Hospital in Aarhus, Denmark. Kari Tanderup’s main research interests are cervix cancer radiotherapy, clinical studies, imaging, and brachytherapy technology. Within these topics she has authored 170+ papers and has supervised 10+ PhD students. Kari Tanderup is chairing the GEC ESTRO gyn network which represents the most active core European academic centers within gynecological brachytherapy, and embraces members from Central/Eastern Europe, India, Canada and USA. Through past and on-going activities this group is internationally recognized as a leading group in gynecological image guided brachytherapy. The group has published international guidelines, which are now used worldwide. The GEC ESTRO gyn group has also initiated the EMBRACE studies. EMBRACE I is an international multicenter study on MRI guided brachytherapy in cervix cancer (1416 patients enrolled in the period 2008-2015), and this material is currently generating a wealth of clinical evidence on outcome as well as dose and effect relationships. The EMBRACE II study is benchmarking advanced EBRT (IMRT and IGRT) and BT (prescription protocol and advanced applicators) (>1400 patients enrolled in the period 2016-2021). Finally, Kari Tanderup is interested in brachytherapy technology. She coordinates international efforts to facilitate and promote in vivo dosimetry through network meetings, joint research activities, and collaboration with industry to support that improved technology can become available for patients.
