ABSTRACT
Introduction. Endovaginal brachytherapy treatment dosimetry differences were studied using Ir-192 or Co-60 sources for postoperative endometrial cancer. Materials and methods. A prospective descriptive study was conducted. Thirty-six dosimetry plans of different patients were studied (15 by Ir-192 and 21 by Co-60). Variables studied included D2cc Rectum, D2cc Bladder, D2cc Sigmoid, dose percentage at point 0 (applicator surface on the top of the cylinder) and dose percentage at point 1 (5 mm deep on the top of the cylinder). A comparative analysis was performed of the values obtained from each variable between Ir-192 and Co-60 treatments. We compared average of each variables between Iridium and Cobalt by T Student for independent samples (SPSS 22). Results. here were no significant differences on using Ir-192 or Co-60 by variables, except for dose percentage at point 1 in which we detected significant differences (Table 1). Discussion. Brachytherapy treatment dosimetry plans are similar using Ir-192 or Co-60, except dose percentage at point 1. In the scientific literature, some differences exist and there are some advantages in using cobalt (AU)
