DoseLab summary
Endorsed eviQ protocol for vaginal vault brachytherapy after hysterectomy, alone or as a boost after pelvic EBRT. It allows a standard library plan, lists example HDR schedules prescribed at the vaginal surface or at 5 mm depth (taken from the American Brachytherapy Society fractionation compendium), and defines the CTV as the upper half or upper 4 cm of the vagina, whichever is greater. It gives no organ limits for this treatment. Its review is due 31 December 2026.
