Abstract

External beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy are major treatments in the management of cervical cancer. For early-stage tumours with local risk factors, brachytherapy is a preoperative option. Postoperative radiotherapy is indicated according to histopathological criteria. For locally advanced tumours, chemoradiation is the standard treatment, followed by brachytherapy boost which is not optional. We present the 2025 update of the recommendations of the Société française de radiothérapie oncologique (the French society of radiation oncology) on the indications and techniques for external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy for cervical cancer.
