The Impact of High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy: Measuring Clinical Outcomes in the Primary Treatment of Cervical Cancer

Advances in Radiation Oncology, 2020
Purpose: Radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy with combined external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy is used to treat locally advanced cervical cancer. Our institution has transitioned to high-dose-rate (HDR) intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT)

Dosimetric equivalence of nonstandard HDR brachytherapy catheter patterns [PDF]

Medical Physics, 2008
Purpose: To determine whether alternative high dose rate prostate brachytherapy catheter patterns can result in similar or improved dose distributions while providing better access and reducing trauma. Materials and Methods: Standard prostate cancer high dose rate brachytherapy uses a regular grid of parallel needle positions to guide the catheter ...

Combined Active Bone Marrow‐Sparing Radiotherapy and Prophylactic PEG‐rhG‐CSF to Reduce Severe Neutropenia During Platinum‐Doublet Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer: A Phase II Trial

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Platinum‐doublet concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) is frequently complicated by severe neutropenia. This Phase II trial investigated whether combining active bone marrow‐sparing (ABMS) radiotherapy with prophylactic pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor (PEG ...

Expanding dose and dose‐rate capabilities of a synchrotron‐based pre‐clinical proton FLASH irradiation platform

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Background Proton FLASH radiotherapy has demonstrated promising normal tissue sparing for similar tumor control at ultra‐high dose rates (> 40 Gy/s), but systematic investigation of dose‐rate‐dependent biological mechanisms is limited. Most existing proton platforms operate within a narrow dose‐rate range. Synchrotron‐based systems are further

Early outcomes after focal high-dose-rate brachytherapy in low- and favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer: promising early results from a prospective randomized trial

Open Medicine
To compare the QoL of patients diagnosed with low- or favorable-intermediate-risk PCa after focal HDR brachytherapy and active surveillance. Our secondary objectives were to compare progression-free survival (PFS) between patients who underwent focal ...
