Please select the option that best describes you:

Would you offer brachytherapy for a patient with metastatic cervical cancer s/p 30Gy/10 fx to the pelvis followed by chemotherapy who only has isolated disease in the cervix?  

If a patient presents with metastatic disease (by virtue of extensive PA nodal burden, mediastinal/SCV involvement, no solid organs) but received urgent 30 Gy to the pelvis in 10 fractions for uncontrolled bleeding at diagnosis, followed by chemotherapy and now only has isolated (now asymptomatic) residual disease in the cervix, would you offer brachytherapy? If so, what dose?
