        abstract = {The main modality of treating locally advanced cervical cancer is by external beam radiotherapy to the pelvis alone or in combination with chemotherapy, followed by intracavitary brachytherapy. The study aims to evaluate and compare different Dosimetric parameters of treatment fields for ca cervix 3DCRT technique and algorithms. Methods: A Retrospective observational study was done for fifteen patients with cervical cancer between January to December 2021, four sets of 3DCRT plans-box field with collapsed cone algorithm, box field with Monte Carlo algorithm, cross beam field with collapsed cone algorithm and cross beam field with Monte Carlo algorithm were planned for each patient. The four plans were later compared adopting DVH analysis for the PTV, and Dmean and Dmax doses for bladder, rectum and both femoral heads. Results: From the generated plans it was observed that though the tumor coverage was sufficiently covered in all the plans, box field plan with collapsed cone algorithm showed the least OAR dose. Conclusion: From this study, we can conclude that the 3DCRT technique plans generated with box field technique using collapsed cone algorithm can be adopted for the treatment of cervical cancer as it can deliver highly conformal dose to the target volume without increasing the dose to bladder, rectum, and bilateral femoral heads.},
