International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1993 The high dose rate brachytherapy uses a single source os 192Ir with 10Ci of nominal activity in a remote afterloading machine. This technique allows an outpatient treatment, without the inconveniences of the conventional low dose rate brachytherapy such as use of general anesthesia, rhachianesthesia, prolonged immobilization, and personal exposition to

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 ...

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.

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.

Optically stimulated luminescent dosimetry for high dose rate brachytherapy
Frontiers in Oncology, 2012 Purpose: The objective was to determine whether optically stimulated luminescent dosimeters (OSLDs) were appropriate for in vivo measurements in high dose rate brachytherapy. In order to make this distinction, three dosimetric characteristics were tested:

Second salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy for radiorecurrent prostate cancer
Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy, 2017 Purpose : Salvage treatments for localized radiorecurrent prostate cancer can be performed safely when a focal and image guided approach is used. Due to the low toxicity, the opportunity exists to investigate a second salvage treatment when a second ...

High-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for female peri-urethral cancer
Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy, 2016 Purpose: Peri-urethral cancer (PUC) in females is a rare malignancy. Surgery is not usually contemplated due to associated morbidity. Radiation therapy (RT) can be employed in the form of interstitial brachytherapy (IBT) alone for early lesions, and ...

Early Toxicities After High Dose Rate Proton Therapy in Cancer Treatments
Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 BackgroundThe conventional dose rate of radiation therapy is 0.01–0.05 Gy per second. According to preclinical studies, an increased dose rate may offer similar anti-tumoral effect while dramatically improving normal tissue protection. This study aims at
