Brachytherapy-Based Radiotherapy and Radical Prostatectomy Are Associated With Similar Survival in High-Risk Localized Prostate Cancer.

Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2018
Purpose There are no randomized trials to guide treatment decisions between radiotherapeutic and surgical options for patients with high-risk localized prostate cancer. Comparative studies have been limited by their ability to match patients on the basis

Brachytherapy

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 1999
Dating from the inception of percutaneous coronary angioplasty, restenosis has been the postprocedural Achilles heel. Despite a decade of research, with a myriad of mechanical devices and pharmacologic agents, this vexing problem has yet to be resolved.

ENDOBRONCHIAL BRACHYTHERAPY

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 ...

Breast Brachytherapy: Intracavitary Breast Brachytherapy

2016
Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) represents a more conformal and convenient method to deliver adjuvant radiation as part of a breast-conserving therapy approach. Interstitial multi-catheter brachytherapy was the first technique developed to deliver APBI, however, the complexity of this implant procedure limited its widespread use to select

Modern Brachytherapy

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.

Modern Brachytherapy

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
