Implementation of High Dose Rate Brachytherapy in Cancer Treatment

Science Progress and Research, 2021
A technique of radiation therapy delivery in which the radioactive sources are placed very close or even inside the target volume is called Brachytherapy (BT). Brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy.

Breast brachytherapy

Brachytherapy, 2021
Accelerated partial breast irradiation with brachytherapy is a treatment method with a very low risk profile. In fact, accelerated partial breast irradiation brachytherapy has been proven in randomized trials to have fewer late side effects than whole-breast irradiation.

DNA repair gene polymorphisms, tumor control, and treatment toxicity in prostate cancer patients treated with permanent implant prostate brachytherapy

The Prostate, 2020
Radiotherapy and brachytherapy are common treatments for localized prostate cancer (PCa). However, very few studies evaluated the association of variations in DNA damage response genes and treatment outcomes and toxicity in brachytherapy‐treated patients.

Brachytherapy

2013
Brachytherapy is the preferred radiation treatment modality for various intraocular tumors, most commonly, uveal melanoma. Radioactive sources are placed directly onto or around the tumor with the aid of episcleral plaques, whereby the employed sources exhibit an extremely sharp fall-off of dosage outside the few millimeters around the tumor. With such

Brachytherapy in the elderly

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.

Brachytherapy and fertility

Human Fertility, 2016
Fertility is a major part of the global care of patients treated for cancer. A new discipline known as oncofertility has emerged in some countries. Although the relationship between chemotherapy and external radiotherapy and fertility has been studied and reported, there is only scarce data available on brachytherapy.

Brachytherapy for meningiomas

2020
Interstitial intracranial radiotherapy implants, or brachytherapy, is an adjuvant option for treatment of recurrent high-grade meningiomas after resection. The implants are placed in the resection cavity following tumor resection. The most commonly used isotope is Iodine-125 (I-125).

Spinal brachytherapy

Neuro-Oncology, 2022
Abstract Brachytherapy remains an underrecognized and underutilized radiation therapy modality for the treatment of spinal tumors. This article summarizes the existing body of medical literature on the usage, indications, techniques, and outcomes of brachytherapy for the treatment of spine tumors.
