Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...

Clinical efficacy of CT-guided 125I brachytherapy in patients with local residual or recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma after thermal ablation

Insights into Imaging, 2022
Key points 125I brachytherapy is a treatment for locally recurrent HCC after ablation. 125I brachytherapy combined with ablation may improve tumor control. Vascular invasion, multiple lesions, and AFP are prognostic risk factors.

Use of ultrasound in image-guided high-dose-rate brachytherapy: enumerations and arguments

Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy, 2017
Inherently, brachytherapy is the most conformal radiotherapeutic technique. As an aid to brachytherapy, ultrasonography (USG) serves as a portable, inexpensive, and simple to use method allowing for accurate, reproducible, and adaptive treatments.

Comparative Evaluation of Four Stereotactic Radiosurgery Planning Approaches for Treatment of Posterior Choroidal Melanoma

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study evaluated four stereotactic radiosurgery planning approaches for posterior choroidal melanoma (CM). Analysis of thirteen CM cases resulted in a clinically meaningful reduction in dose to the brain for Brainlab Elements modulated arcs (BE) and Varian Eclipse HyperArc modulated arcs (HA) compared to Brainlab iPlan dynamic conformal arc therapy

A Brief Review of Low-Dose Rate (LDR) and High-Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy Boost for High-Risk Prostate

Frontiers in Oncology, 2019
For patients with unfavorable or high-risk prostate cancer, dose escalated radiation therapy leads to improved progression free survival but attempts to deliver increased dose by external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) alone can be limited by late ...

3D Printing a Clinically Available Solution From Plaster‐Based Positives in Superficial Radiation Therapy

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study compares two techniques for creating lead shielding masks to replace the current process for superficial/orthovoltage facial radiotherapy: Plaster Cast Positive Mould (PCPM), CT Scanned 3D Print (CT3DP), and Optical Scan 3D Print (OS3DP). CT3DP was found to be more accurate and preferred over OS3DP.

One‐Year Functional Satisfaction and Quality of Life Outcomes of Patients With a History of Radiotherapy With Artificial Urinary Sphincters

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims This study assessed how functional satisfaction and quality of life outcomes of the artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) were affected in patients who received radiation for prostate cancer. Methods A secondary analysis was conducted based on the Artificial Urinary Sphincter Clinical Outcomes (AUSCO) study, a prospective multi‐institutional
