[0033] When the oval adjustable gynecological close-distance afterloading applicator is used, first, according to the size of the tumor of the cervical cancer patient, combined with the patient's imaging data and the doctor's physical examination, as well as the irregularity of the cross section of the cervical vault 46, it is determined to use two oval applicators for afterloading radiotherapy, and the cross-sectional size of the cervical vault 46 and the position of the tumor 47 are measured. Then, the front end of an applicator curved tube 14 is inserted into the curved tube installation hole 26 at the upper end of the intermediate connecting frame 1 of a gynecological close-distance afterloading applicator through the curved tube plug-in hole 22 at the upper part of the adjustable oval sphere 15, and fixed. Afterwards, according to the cross-sectional size of the patient's cervical vault 46, the rotating rod is used to rotate the insertion rod 17 to drive the oval body adjustment rotating rod 5 and the opening and closing driving gear 4 arranged thereon to rotate together; and then, through the rotating opening and closing driving gear 4, the opening and closing driven rack Ⅰ6 and the opening and closing driven rack Ⅱ7 engaged therewith are driven to move in opposite directions respectively, so as to drive the oval body left hemisphere 2 and the oval body right hemisphere 3 on both sides of the middle connecting frame 1 to gradually separate (expand).

[0034] When the oval body left hemisphere 2 and the oval body right hemisphere 3 are separated to the required width (for example: 30mm), the gear lock driving rod 12 drives the gear lock body 39 of the active gear lock 11 to approach the opening and closing active gear 4, thereby locking the position of the opening and closing active gear 4, so that the open position of the oval body left hemisphere 2 and the oval body right hemisphere 3 is fixed. Subsequently, the gynecological close-range rear-loading source applicator in the open state is implanted along the patient's vagina 43 to the right side of the cervical vault 46, so that the adjustable oval sphere 15 is closely fitted with the right side of the cervical vault 46, and the lower part of the adjustable oval sphere 15 is against the bottom of the vagina 43. Insert the front end of another applicator bend tube 14 into the bend tube mounting hole 26 at the upper end of the middle connecting frame 1 of another gynecological close-distance after-loading applicator, and then use the rotating rod to rotate the insertion rod 17 to drive the left hemisphere 2 and the right hemisphere 3 of the oval body to gradually separate; and when the left hemisphere 2 and the right hemisphere 3 of the oval body are separated to the required width (for example: 25mm), the opening and closing active gear 4 is locked by the active gear lock 11. It can be understood that, according to specific usage needs, the expansion widths of the adjustable oval spheres 15 of the two gynecological close-distance after-loading applicators can be different or the same. Afterwards, this (another) gynecological close-distance after-loading applicator in the expanded state is implanted along the patient's vagina 43 to the left side of the cervical vault 46, and the lower part of the adjustable oval sphere 15 is against the bottom of the vagina 43, thereby forming a radiation source channel 48 in the vagina 43.

[0035] Then, the two gynecological close-distance after-loading applicators are fixed by connecting components (for example, fixing screws), so that the positions of the two applicators are relatively fixed and there is no left-right movement; the two gynecological close-distance after-loading applicators are fixed to the patient by a belly band, and the subsequent tumor 47 radiotherapy is carried out. After the tumor 47 radiotherapy is completed, the active gear lock 11 is driven to release the opening and closing active gear 4, and then the adjustable oval spheres 15 of the two gynecological close-distance after-loading applicators are closed by rotating the plug 17 with a rotating rod, and the gynecological close-distance after-loading applicators are taken out from the patient's vagina 43, disinfected, and reused. The implantation method of the gynecological close-distance after-loading applicator with an adjustable oval body can flexibly adjust the size of the oval sphere according to the actual situation of the patient, thereby realizing individualized treatment. It is easy to operate, can effectively improve the quality of radiotherapy, is non-invasive, has small side effects after treatment, and does not add economic burden to patients.
