American Brachytherapy Society: Brachytherapy treatment recommendations for locally advanced cervix cancer for low-income and middle-income countries

, 2017
© 2016 American Brachytherapy SocietyPurpose Most cervix cancer cases occur in low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC), and outcomes are suboptimal, even for early stage disease.

Review of Clinical and Technological Consideration for MRI-guided Robotic Prostate Brachytherapy

, 2021
International audienceLow Dose Rate Brachytherapy (LDR-BT) is a technique for treating localized prostate cancer by implanting radioactive seeds. In conventional practice, the delivery of seeds is performed using transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS ...

Concurrent Germline RB1 & Mosaic TP53 in a Child With Multiple Childhood Cancers

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We report a patient with a pathogenic germline variant (PGV) in RB1 and somatic mosaicism for a pathogenic TP53 variant who developed three distinct types of childhood cancer: retinoblastoma, osteosarcoma, and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) before the age of 6 years.

Evolution of brachytherapy applicators for the treatment of cervical cancer

Journal of Medical Physics, 2021
Brachytherapy applicators have come a long way since Danlos developed early intracavitary applicators to treat cervical cancer patients. Therefore, this review will help in the neoteric designs of intracavitary applicators.

Health-related quality-of-life changes due to high-dose-rate brachytherapy, low-dose-rate brachytherapy, or intensity-modulated radiation therapy for prostate cancer

, 2015
To compare urinary, bowel, and sexual health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) changes due to high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy, low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy, or intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) monotherapy for prostate cancer.

Safe Omission of Postoperative Neck Irradiation in Selected pN0 Patients With Locally Advanced Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Postoperative radiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC); however, the indication for neck irradiation (NI) in pN0 patients remains debatable. We evaluated whether the omission of NI compromises outcomes in pT3–T4 pN0 patients treated with adequate neck dissection (ND).

Laser augmented by brachytherapy versus laser alone in the palliation of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus and cardia: a randomised study [PDF]

, 2002
Background: Many patients with advanced malignant dysphagia are not suitable for definitive treatment. The best option for palliation of dysphagia varies between patients. This paper looks at a simple technique for enhancing laser recanalisation.

Treatment With the Shaker Head‐Lift Exercise in Head and Neck Cancer Patients With Radiation‐Induced Dysphagia: 12‐Month Results on Swallowing Function From a Randomized, Controlled Trial

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dysphagia is a common side‐effect after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients. This randomized study aimed to evaluate the effect of the shaker head‐lift exercise (HLE) after 12 months with flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Methods Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 30) or the control

Local control and recurrence patterns after stereotactic irradiation delivered in more than 4 fractions for hepatocellular carcinomas and liver metastases: a retrospective study

Radiation Oncology
Background Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is a safe and effective treatment for liver metastases or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with a dose–response relationship for local control (LC). Proximity to organs at risk (OAR) often requires dose
