Toxicity Outcome Using Bladder-Rectum Spacer Balloon Versus Vaginal Gauze Packing in Brachytherapy in Cervical Cancer.

Abstract BACKGROUNDTo compare the clinical impact in terms of toxicity outcomes with RayshieldTM bladder rectum spacer balloon (BRSB) versus vaginal gauze packing (VGP) in patients treated with high dose rate intracavitary brachytherapy for carcinoma cervix.RESULTSFollow-up and dosimetric data of patients in whom BRSB and VGP were used in a previously reported randomized study were retrieved, 8. Out of 80 patients analysed, late toxicities assessment (according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (CTCAE v4). was possible in 65 patients as 14 patients were lost to follow-up and one patient died. Grade 2 bladder toxicity was observed in 2 patients in each arm. Only 1 patient in VGP arm experienced grade 3 proctitis while none of the patient in BRSB arm had ³Grade 2 rectal toxicity. Vaginal toxicity was comparable in both the arms.CONCLUSION No significant difference was observed in bladder and rectal toxicities using the BRSB versus VGP. BRSB can be considered as an alternative to VGP in intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer using tandem- ovoid applicatorsThe study was approved by the institute ethics committee and registered under Clinical Trial Registry of India (CTRI/2009/091/000840)..
