Cervical & Gynecological Cancer Care in Udaipur
Comprehensive treatment protocols for cervical, uterine, and ovarian cancers incorporating EBRT, concurrent chemotherapy, and brachytherapy. Managed under the clinical leadership of Dr. Narendra Rathore (Professor & Head of Radiation Oncology) at MB Hospital Campus, RNT Medical College, Udaipur.
Medical Overview & Clinical Background
Cervical cancer and gynecological malignancies are highly treatable when detected early and managed with evidence-based radiation and systemic protocols. Dr. Narendra Rathore leads specialized gynecologic oncology radiation care at MB Hospital, Udaipur, offering concurrent chemoradiation and brachytherapy referral planning.
Understanding the Disease & Treatment Mechanics
For locally advanced cervical cancer (Stage IB3 to IVA), definitive management consists of External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) to the pelvis paired with weekly Cisplatin chemotherapy, followed by internal Brachytherapy. This combination delivers high radiation doses to the cervix and paracervical tissues while preserving bladder and rectal integrity.
Treatment Approach & Clinical Protocols
Treatment planning utilizes pelvic CT simulation with strict bladder and rectal filling protocols to ensure consistent internal organ geometry during daily fractions. Patients receive 5 weeks of daily pelvic radiation alongside weekly outpatient chemotherapy monitoring. Following EBRT, brachytherapy application delivers high-dose radiation directly inside the cervical canal with rapid fall-off to surrounding healthy organs.
Common Indications & Applications
- Locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma & adenocarcinoma
- Post-operative radiation for endometrial (uterine) carcinoma
- Vaginal and vulvar carcinoma
- Adjuvant systemic therapy for high-risk ovarian carcinoma
What Patients Should Expect
5 weeks of daily pelvic radiation therapy accompanied by weekly low-dose chemotherapy, followed by brachytherapy procedures.
Recovery, Side Effect Management & Hygiene
Common temporary pelvic radiation side effects include mild loose stools, increased urinary frequency, or lower abdominal cramps. Dr. Rathore provides dietary guidance (low-residue diet), antidiarrheal support, hydration targets, and vaginal hygiene protocols to maintain patient comfort throughout therapy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is cervical cancer curable with radiation and chemotherapy?
Yes. Locally advanced cervical cancer has high cure rates when complete concurrent chemoradiation therapy followed by brachytherapy is completed without unnecessary delays.
Q: What diet should I follow during pelvic radiation therapy?
Eat a low-residue, easily digestible diet. Avoid raw unwashed salads, heavy fats, spicy foods, and milk products if loose stools occur. Drink 2.5 to 3 liters of clean water daily.
Q: Why is bladder filling important before each daily radiation session?
A comfortably full bladder pushes the healthy small intestines upward and out of the pelvic radiation beam, protecting bowel loops from unnecessary radiation exposure.
