Novel validation of HDR brachy therapy dosimetry for cervical cancer using egs_brachy Monte Carlo simulations: a comparative analysis with Oncentra treatment planning system. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med PhysAbstract Purpose This study aims to validate HDR brachytherapy dosimetry for cervical cancer patients utilizing the egs_brachy Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. Methods Three cervical cancer patients treated with 192Ir HDR brachytherapy were included. Dose distributions were calculated by the Oncentra Brachy v4 treatment planning system (TPS) based on AAPM ...

Clinical Efficacy and Openness to New Challenges of Low Dose Rate Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer
Current Oncology, 2023 Over a century ago, low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy was introduced to treat prostate cancer (PCa). Since then, it has been widely applied worldwide, including in East Asia. LDR brachytherapy has been performed in 88 institutes in Japan.

RADIOISOTOPES, 2012 Brachytherapy do require a minimal expansion of CTV to obtain PTV and it is called as ultimate high precision radiation therapy. In high-dose rate brachytherapy, applicators will be placed around or into the tumor and CT or MRI will be performed with the applicators in situ.
