MucoUp® as a spacer in brachytherapy for uterine cervical cancer: A first-in-human experience

Abstract

We first used MucoUp®, a hyaluronic acid used in endoscopic resection, as a spacer in brachytherapy. In five cervical cancer patients, MucoUp® insertion increased a 90% dose of the high-risk CTV to over 80 Gy while decreasing the dose of organs at risk. No related adverse events were observed.
