Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2002
AbstractPatients presenting with in‐stent restenosis have an increased risk of need for repeat intervention. Intracoronary brachytherapy is indicated for these patients to prevent recurrent in‐stent restenosis. Three intravascular brachytherapy systems are currently FDA‐approved for use in patients: one utilizing gamma‐radiation (Cordis) and two using ...

Intraluminal radiation for the local control of bronchogenic carcinoma has recently undergone rapid technological progress. Remote afterloading of high intensity radiation sources into endoscopically placed multiple small catheters with computerized optimization of dosimetry is the state-of-the-art.

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

Gastroenterology Nursing, 1992
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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

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
