Radiotherapy for endometrial cancer: a key piece in the jigsaw.

In this article the author discusses which of the two treatments such as external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and vaginal brachytherapy (VBT) is the best to use as a standard care for women with endometrial cancer. The authors examined the results of the two trials, PORTEC-2 and ASTEC which shows that VBT is as efficient as EBRT in the prevention of vaginal recurrence. The authors suggest that the PORTEC-2 trial's results are credible and clinically important.
