Abstract Text
This presentation will summarize clinical outcome of patients treated with definitive chemo-radiation and MRI based image-guided adaptive brachytherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer within the Embrace I study. Main focus will be put on risk factors for local failure and new insights into dose-response relationships for local tumour control. Recent evidence from EMBRACE I and upcoming evidence from EMBRACE II point - beyond the current strategy of individual volumetric adaptation – towards the possibility of risk-adapted treatment and personalized dose prescription. First concepts for EMBRACE III will be outlined.
