Most institutions instructed patients to fill their bladder before undergoing planning CT or daily treatment. Most institutions used body-immobilizing devices for patient fixation. Half of the institutions used static IMRT and the others used volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT). A questionnaire regarding the precise methods of conducting IMRT was sent to six institutions that had already introduced IMRT for post-operative cervical cancer, and the data were analyzed. The object of this study was to perform a surveillance study of IMRT for post-operative cervical cancer. A clinical trial is in preparation to investigate the efficacy and feasibility of IMRT for postoperative cervical cancer.
