Abstract： Radiotherapy is an important part of the postoperative adjuvant therapy of cervical cancer. Along with the persistent development of radiotherapy techniques,the application of brachytherapy has been more and more used as a boost to external beam radiotherapy. In this artical,the indications of postoperative radiotherapy and the application of brachytherapy were reviewed.
