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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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
2016Accelerated 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
