The Need for Laparoscopic Ovarian Transposition in Young Patients with Cervical Cancer Undergoing Radiotherapy
Figure 2
(a) Diagram showing the (AP-PA) whole pelvic radiation therapy field relative to the position of the transposed ovary. Position 1 represents the suboptimal placement of the ovary; position 2 represents the optimal placement of the ovary in terms of maintaining ovarian function. (b) Diagram of a dose distribution. The dose at point A is 10% of the dose at the center of the field (point X, 100%). The dose at point B is 1% of the dose at point X. Therefore, if the prescribed dose was 45 Gy, the dose is 4.5 Gy at point A and 0.45 Gy at point B [13, 25].
