Brachytherapy in the Management of Uveal Melanomas

Türk Oftalmoloji Dergisi, 2014
Uveal melanoma is the most common intraocular tumor in adults. Clinical studies have shown similar patient survival rates after treatment of medium-sized melanomas when comparing plaque brachytherapy with radioactive iodine-125 versus enucleation. This

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

Cancer of the vagina: 2025 update

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Primary vaginal cancer is a rare gynecologic malignancy, with most vaginal cancers representing metastases from other primary sites. Staging and treatment protocols are often extrapolated from those used in cervical cancer. In contemporary medicine, the roles of the pathologist and radiologist are increasingly vital in supporting diagnosis and

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.

Quantifying the Carbon Footprint of External Beam Radiation Therapy—A Narrative Review

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This article synthesises the literature quantifying the carbon footprint of external beam radiation therapy. ABSTRACT The health care sector contributes significant amounts of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to the global climate change issue. However, little remains known about the specific contribution of radiation therapy even though there are methods/tools

Radiotherapeutic efficacy of gold nanoparticles for high dose-rate brachytherapy compared to conventional radiotherapy: An in vitro study. [PDF]

Med Phys
Abstract Background Radiation therapy is a pivotal part of the treatment plan for many cancer patients. Effective dose escalation in the tumour is required to achieve optimal curative results but is hindered by normal tissue toxicity. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) as radiosensitizers to improve the radiation cross‐section of malignant tissue is one avenue ...
