Endobronchial brachytherapy is a palliative treatment primarily used for individuals with lung cancer. This article describes the brachytherapy and presents the nurse's role before, during, and after the procedure. Coordination between hospital staff--endoscopy department, pulmonologist, radiation oncologist, and radiology department--is important to ...

American Journal of Clinical Oncology, 1993
There has been a recent resurgence of interest in implementing brachytherapy in the management of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, not only as treatment for recurrent disease, where it has secured a notable role, but also as an elective boost following external beam irradiation in an attempt to improve local control.

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 ...

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1990
In the last several years there has been a renewed interest in interstitial brachytherapy for the treatment of both newly diagnosed and recurrent malignant gliomas and solitary cerebral metastases. A variety of techniques are currently in use for the planning and stereotactic implantation of radioactive isotopes into these tumors.

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 ...

Seminars in Oncology, 2014
Brachytherapy consists of placing radioactive sources within, or directly adjacent to a tumor, and is a means of delivering highly targeted and conformal radiation. While its history dates back to the origins of the field, in recent years brachytherapy treatment paradigms have been evolving considerably.

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

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 ...

PROSTATE BRACHYTHERAPY: TREATMENT STRATEGIES
Journal of Urology, 1999Patients who present with localized and locally advanced prostate cancer may be candidates for prostate brachytherapy. We evaluated the treatment outcomes in a diverse group of prostate cancer patients who presented with low, moderate and high risk features.A total of 301 patients who presented with T1 to T3 prostate cancer were treated with ...
