Challenges and opportunities in the implementation of advanced brachytherapy programs for cervical cancer in the Philippines

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer cause of morbidity and mortality in Filipino women; the age-standardized annual incidence is 15.2 as of March 2023. The majority are diagnosed at a locally advanced stage and in the reproductive and working age group. This results in important treatme...

description Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer cause of morbidity and mortality in Filipino women; the age-standardized annual incidence is 15.2 as of March 2023. The majority are diagnosed at a locally advanced stage and in the reproductive and working age group. This results in important treatment and productivity costs. The importance of image-guided and interstitial brachytherapy (BRT) in local control and toxicity outcomes has been shown in recent meta-analyses. We review the status of advanced BRT program training and implementation in the Philippines and important challenges and opportunities to move forward.
