The study aims to estimate the differences in vaginal surface, bladder, and rectal doses when adjuvant intracavitary brachytherapy is carried out with ovoids or with vaginal cylinders, in postoperative carcinoma endometrium and to assess the difference in variability in organs at risk (OAR) doses and thereby the reproducibility of application in subsequent sittings.
