Cancer of the cervix uteri is the second most frequent female gynaecological cancer at the Nuclear Medicine Oncology Radiotherapy Institute (NORI), Islamabad. Twenty four patients with histologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma of cervix uteri were given external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) followed by intracavitary irradiation using high dose rate (HDR, Ir source) unit. Radiation was successful in relieving subjective complaints of the patients in 87.5% of cases. At the one year followup only grade I or II complications were observed in 33% of cases which neither required surgery nor meticulous care
