Abstract: Tumor volume has an important impact on the choice of brachytherapy method,dose to organs at risk,local control rate,and survival prognosis in cervical cancer.With the rapid development of targeted therapy and immunotherapy,targeted therapy,immunotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy combined external beam radiotherapy shows great clinical application prospects in the maximum tumor volume reduction rate before brachytherapy and realize individualized treatment.Therefore,this paper reviews and summarizes the research progress of tumor volume in brachytherapy of cervical cancer in recent years.
