The prognostic outcome of each patient were assessed on the following-parameters: Acute and late Side effects, Loco-regional control for complete or partial response and recurrence. On analysing the pattern of response assessment all patients have complete response(100%) after CT based Brachytherapy. ICRT signicantly improve loco regional response but increases incidence of haematological and mucosal toxicity, which being manageable.
