TL;DR: IMRT provide a good alternative for treatment of cervix carcinoma with lower acute gastrointestinal and acute genitourinary toxicity with similar target coverage compared to 3D conformal radiotherapy.

TL;DR: Three patients developed metastasis at unusual sites involving breast, paraspinal muscles, and duodenum which are very rarely involved, and it may be hematological spread, and these sites are seen during follow-up of patients of cancer cervix.

TL;DR: IMRT significantly reduced the irradiated volume of OAR and improved dose conformity in the PTV compared to that by 3DCRT, and it can be concluded that IMRT should be chosen as preferred technique for the EBRT of LACC with proper immobilizing devices and imaging.

TL;DR: Adequate target coverage was achieved by both the techniques, however, dose to OARs were lesser in 3DCRT plans as compared with that in IMRT plans, and it can be concluded that 3D CRT is as efficient as IMRT for the chest wall irradiation.

TL;DR: The target coverage and doses to organs at risk (OARs) were achieved as per the ABS guidelines and it can be concluded that the Co-60 HDR brachytherapy unit is a good choice especially for the centers with a small number of brachyTherapy procedures.
