Radiotherapy has a significant role in the management of cervical cancer. Radiotherapy
is indicated in two-thirds of all cervical cancer patients. Indications of radiotherapy
are based on level I-II evidences in the vast majority of cases, although in some
cases the use of radiotherapy is supported by the results of retrospective clinical
trials. In this review, indications of curative and palliative irradiation and radio-chemotherapy
are summarized and technological advances of contemporary external beam radiotherapy
and brachytherapy are presented.
