Abstract Brachytherapy is an essential part of radical radiotherapy for cervical cancer. At present, two-dimensional brachytherapy is the most frequently adopted approach in China. To standardize the application and implementation of two-dimensional brachytherapy for cervical cancer, the expert consensus was jointly formulated by Brachytherapy Group of China Society for Radiation Oncology (CSTRO), Gynecological Oncology Group of Chinese Association for Therapeutic Radiation Oncologists (CATRO) and Brachytherapy Special Committee of Chinese Anti-Cancer Association (CACA).
