Definition of four BT target categories according to assessment and restaging taking into account the pattern of residual disease at BT for CT based contouring of the adaptive CTV-THR-CT.

Category of BT Cervix Parametrium Vagina Uterine corpus bladder/rectum

IBT No residual disease No residual disease No residual disease No residual disease No residual wall/mucosa involvement
Or Or Or
Residual disease confined to cervix Residual disease < 2 cm of upper vagina Residual disease in proximal third of utero-cervical junction
IIBT Significant residual disease Proximal parametrial disease Residual disease within upper one third Residual disease not beyond mid corpus No residual wall/mucosa involvement
IIIBT Significant residual disease Distal/upto pelvic wall parametrial disease Residual disease in mid or lower third Residual disease into distal corpus/Up to fundus No residual wall/mucosa involvement
IVBT Any residual disease Proximal parametrial disease Residual disease within upper one third Residual disease not beyond mid corpus Residual disease involving neighboring organ wall/ mucosa (bladder/ rectum)
Distal/upto pelvic wall parametrial disease Residual disease in mid or lower third Residual disease into distal corpus/Up to fundus Residual disease involving neighboring organ wall/ mucosa (bladder/ rectum)
