The patient underwent concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), external beam pelvic radiotherapy with 45 Gy\/25 fractions, and weekly cisplatin (40 mg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>). Brachytherapy was administered following the completion of external beam radiotherapy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The brachytherapy, which was CT (Computed Tomography)-guided using two CT-compatible tandems and two CT-compatible ovoids, delivered a prescription dose of HRCTV D90 was 6 Gy*5F, which achieved satisfactory dose coverage. The patient\u2019s final HRCTV D90 EQD2<jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub> was 84.9 Gy, and IRCTV D90 EQD2<jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub> was 63.5 Gy. Rectum D2cc EQD2<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> was 66.03 Gy, bladder D2cc EQD2<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> was 75.57 Gy, sigmoid D2cc EQD2<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> was 63.93 Gy, and intestine D2cc EQD2<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> was 65.86 Gy.

This method is also applicable to patients with endometrial
