Abstract

Radiotherapy is a powerful tool for tumour control and treatment for various types of cancer. Despite the technological advances, cancer patients are still experiencing skin radiation injury. This study analyzed the probability of the skin radiation injury experienced by cervical cancer patients after external curative and palliative radiotherapy. This research was conducted at the Hasanuddin University Teaching Hospital in the Radiology section. The instrument used LINAC 6 MV external radiotherapy with the Varian brand. The state of the cancer of the samples was stage 2 B, and 3 B.  The application of the dose rate for the two stages in curative therapy did not differ, such as 6.06 Gy/min to 8.26 Gy/min. On the contrary, palliative therapy uses a dose rate of 11.06 Gy/min to 13.47 Gy/min. This dose rate is higher than the curative dose rate because this therapy aims to reduce the size of cancer.
