Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) was recently introduced to the field of gynecologic malignancies; however, its value is not yet validated. A clinical trial is in preparation to investigate the efficacy and feasibility of IMRT for postoperative cervical cancer. The object of this study was to perform a surveillance study of IMRT for post-operative cervical cancer. 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. Half of the institutions used static IMRT and the others used volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT). Most institutions used body-immobilizing devices for patient fixation. Most institutions instructed patients to fill their bladder before undergoing planning CT or daily treatment. While one institution inserted metallic markers and another one used radio-contrast–soaked gauze to visualize the vaginal cuff, the other institutions used nothing for vaginal cuff visualization. Most institutions defined the clinical target volumes according to the Japan Clinical Oncology Group or the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group guidelines. Only one institution used a prescribed dose based on 95% of the PTV (D95), while the rest used the mean dose (Dmean). This valuable information from six leading institutions will be utilized in a future prospective clinical trial.
