Gastrointestinal Brachytherapy
Brachytherapy, 2023Brachytherapy is a sophisticated and proven treatment technique of different GI localizations. Here the development of GI- brachytherapy of last 20 years, current position and the perspectives for next years are discussed. In summary: The GI-brachytherapy of different localizations is very effective, in experienced hands a safe technique and should be ...

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 2019
Brachytherapy involves the placement of radioactive sources within or very close to the tumor. This placement allows a high dose of radiotherapy to be delivered to the tumor while sparing the surrounding normal tissue. The delivery of brachytherapy has changed markedly over the years, with newer radioactive sources making delivery safer, image guidance

The Laryngoscope, 1989
AbstractIncreasing lung cancer mortality has created renewed interest in the bronchoscopic use of isotopes for palliation of recurrent airway carcinomas. In the first part of this paper we report our clinical experience with iodine‐125 implantation for treatment of endobronchial carcinomas in 18 patients followed until death.

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1995
Intraluminal endobronchial brachytherapy is a technique in which an encapsulated radioactive source is placed near a tumor for localized irradiation. It is effective, with or without other treatment modalities, in palliating problems caused by endobronchial malignancies, such as dyspnea, hemoptysis, cough, atelectasis, and postobstructive pneumonia ...

Soon after the discovery of radioactivity in 1896, small encapsulated sources of radioactive materials were implanted in tumors to treat malignancies. Clinical use of radioactive sources at short distances from or inside a tumor volume is termed brachytherapy, as opposed to teletherapy, which employs a source of radiation external to the patient at a ...

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 2001
High-dose rate endobronchial brachytherapy is a well-tolerated out-patient procedure that provides a high likelihood for durable palliation of symptoms associated with endobronchial tumor. The most significant associated toxicity is late massive hemoptysis, the risk for which can be minimized by careful treatment planning and limiting the size of the ...

Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology, 2001
A rapidly and constantly increasing aged population in the western countries poses a wide range of specific problems to oncologists. A different way to face medical issues should be sought for older patients with cancer, looking at the characteristics that are peculiar to the elderly from different points of view.

The american brachytherapy society perspective on intravascular brachytherapy
Cardiovascular Radiation Medicine, 1999Recent clinical studies indicate that intravascular brachytherapy (IVB) can reduce the rate of restenosis substantially after angioplasty procedures. However, no clinical guidelines exist for optimal therapy.The members of the IVB Subcommittee of the American Brachytherapy Society (ABS) identified the areas of consensus and controversies in IVB to ...

The benefits and problems of applying brachytherapy to breast cancer management are examined in this article. A history of breast brachytherapy is provided before the uses of brachytherapy in breast cancer are discussed, using several trials as examples. Techniques and tips for implementing brachytherapy are provided and dosimetry is discussed.

Brachytherapy in Orbital Tumors
Ophthalmology, 1997To evaluate whether the use of iridium-192 brachytherapy would reduce the incidence of complications noted with external beam radiation therapy in patients with orbital tumors.This study is a retrospective review of a clinical series of 25 patients with various orbital tumors treated with brachytherapy between 1988 and 1995.Patients were observed for ...
