3D printing in brachytherapy offers the opportunity to create patient-specific applicators that better conform to individual anatomy, with the potential to improve target coverage and organ-at-risk sparing. However, many published 3D-printed applicator workflows can appear resource-intensive or difficult to implement, particularly for cancer centres without access to in-house 3D printing. This webinar will describe the clinical implementation of outsourced, patient-specific clinical templates for gynecologic HDR brachytherapy at a centre without local 3D-printing infrastructure. The presentation will focus on a practical workflow for template design, production, clinical use, and quality assurance, highlighting how patient-specific clinical templates can streamline interstitial implant procedures while maintaining treatment flexibility.
