Summary

This study looked at 22 women with cervical cancer to see if having an empty bladder (using a catheter) or a full bladder (filled with 120cc of fluid) is better during a type of internal radiation called brachytherapy. The goal was to find which method lowers the radiation dose to nearby organs like the bladder, rectum, and bowel. Results help doctors choose the safest approach for each patient.
