High dose rate brachytherapy in the treatment of prostate cancer

World Journal of Urology, 2003
The optimal treatment of patients with localized prostate cancer remains controversial. Significant clinical data are available, however, demonstrating that patients treated with radiation therapy (RT) have a significantly better outcome as the dose to the gland is increased. What remains debatable, however, is how to best deliver these higher doses of

High dose rate brachytherapy source measurement intercomparison

Australasian Physical & Engineering Sciences in Medicine, 2017
This work presents a comparison of air kerma rate (AKR) measurements performed by multiple radiotherapy centres for a single HDR 192Ir source. Two separate groups (consisting of 15 centres) performed AKR measurements at one of two host centres in Australia.

Developing a High-Dose-Rate Prostate Brachytherapy Program

Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing, 2010
This article provides oncology nurses with an overview of high-dose-rate brachytherapy for the treatment of prostate cancer. Many treatment options are available for men diagnosed with prostate cancer. Oncology nurses must know about this potential treatment option so they can provide appropriate education, support, and self-care management advice ...

High-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for gynecologic malignancies

Brachytherapy, 2006
The study aimed to assess the outcome of locally advanced cervical and vaginal cancer treated with high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDRB).Between 1998 and 2004, 16 previously unirradiated patients with locally advanced cervical and vaginal cancer not suitable for intracavitary brachytherapy because of distorted anatomy or extensive vaginal ...

Endobronchial high dose rate brachytherapy

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1993
Endobronchial brachytherapy for malignant airway obstructions has been used at several institutions using various radionuclides for decades. As small, high-activity, Iridium- 192 sources and remote afterloading systems became available, high dose rate (HDR) endobronchial irradiation became popular.

Image‐guided high dose rate endorectal brachytherapy

Medical Physics, 2007
Fractionated high dose rate endorectal brachytherapy (HDR‐EBT) using CT‐based treatment planning is an alternative method for preoperative down‐sizing and down‐staging of advanced rectal adeno‐carcinomas. The authors present an image guidance procedure that was developed to ensure daily dose reproducibility for the four brachytherapy treatment ...

[High dose rate prostate brachytherapy].

Cancer radiotherapie : journal de la Societe francaise de radiotherapie oncologique, 2013
This article aims at presenting the interest of high dose rate brachytherapy in the radiation treatment of prostatic adenocarcinoma. We will discuss successively the biological and dosimetric specificity of brachytherapy for this particular cancer. Afterwards, we will review the main phase II and III studies, the therapeutic indications in the daily ...
