Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1995
Historically, amputation was the standard local treatment for soft tissue sarcomas of the extremity. Although this procedure provided excellent local control, the adverse impact of this procedure on quality of life was obvious. In an effort to maximize the functional outcome of sarcoma therapy, various groups initiated studies aimed at doing less ...

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2008
The demand for anaesthesia in brachytherapy is increasing. Patients often present with high-risk factors and multiple comorbidities. To achieve a stable position of the implants, immobility is often mandatory. Duration of brachytherapy varies greatly and may exceed the duration of single-shot regional anaesthesia.

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 American Brachytherapy Society consensus statement for electronic brachytherapy.
Brachytherapy, 2019Brachytherapy is utilized in the treatment of many different malignancies; although traditionally performed with low-dose-rate or high-dose-rate techniques, more recently, electronic brachytherapy (EB) has emerged as a potential alternative. At this time, there are no evidence-based guidelines to assist clinicians in patient selection for EB and ...

Background Episcleral brachytherapy is the most common eye-preserving treatment for medium-sized choroidal melanomas. γ-emitting iodine-125 (125I) and β-emitting ruthenium-106 (106Ru) are widely used.

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1996
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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
