Why brachytherapy should remain essential to cervical cancer care
Emily Basset recently interviewed Dr. Alina Sturdza, a radiation oncologist and the head of the GYN brachytherapy group at the Medical University of Vienna, Austria. Dr. Alina Sturdza discusses breakthroughs in gynecologic cancer care, including MRI‑guided adaptive brachytherapy and the EMBRACE studies that have improved survival, reduced side effects and enhanced quality of life in cervical cancer. She also covers the importance of the HPV vaccine, patient advocacy and mentoring the next generation of brachytherapists.
