High-dose-rate brachytherapy for eyelid carcinoma: Implant technique and review [PDF]

Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy
Eyelid carcinoma is a tumor often detected at an early stage, which can be managed surgically. In non-surgical cases, brachytherapy is a valid alternative or as adjuvant therapy when risk factors exist.

High dose rate brachytherapy for oral cancer [PDF]

Journal of Radiation Research, 2012
Brachytherapy results in better dose distribution compared with other treatments because of steep dose reduction in the surrounding normal tissues. Excellent local control rates and acceptable side effects have been demonstrated with brachytherapy as a sole treatment modality, a postoperative method, and a method of reirradiation.

An analytic approach to the dosimetry of a new BEBIG 60 Co high-dose-rate brachytherapy source

Journal of Medical Physics, 2012
We present a simple analytic tool for calculating the dose rate distribution in water for a new BEBIG high-dose-rate (HDR) 60 Co brachytherapy source. In the analytic tool, we consider the active source as a point located at the geometric center of the ...

Radioactive Iodine-125 in Tumor Therapy: Advances and Future Directions

Frontiers in Oncology, 2021
Radioactive iodine-125 (I-125) is the most widely used radioactive sealed source for interstitial permanent brachytherapy (BT). BT has the exceptional ability to deliver extremely high doses that external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) could never achieve ...

Modern development of high-dose-rate brachytherapy [PDF]

Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2020
AbstractBrachytherapy is an invasive therapy with placement of radiation source into or near the tumor. The difference between planning target volume and clinical target volume is minimal, and the dose out of the tumor reduces rapidly due to the inverse-square law.
