Low-dose-rate brachytherapy is superior to high-dose-rate brachytherapy for bladder cancer

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 2004
To determine the efficacy and safety of a high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy schedule in the treatment of bladder cancer and to investigate the impact of different values of repair half-times and alpha/beta ratios on the design of the HDR schedule.Between 2000 and 2002, 40 patients with T1G3 and T2 bladder carcinoma were treated with 30 Gy external ...

Cervix cancer brachytherapy: High dose rate

Cancer/Radiothérapie, 2014
Cervical cancer, although less common in industrialized countries, is the fourth most common cancer affecting women worldwide and the fourth leading cause of cancer death. In developing countries, these cancers are often discovered at a later stage in the form of locally advanced tumour with a poor prognosis.

High Dose Rate Prostate Brachytherapy

2021
High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy is a safe and effective method of treating men with prostate cancer. It is used in the definitive setting as monotherapy or in combination with hormonal therapy and/or external beam radiation therapy. It is also used in the salvage setting for local recurrence after primary radiotherapy.

Definition of vaginal doses in intrauterine high–dose-rate brachytherapy

Brachytherapy, 2004
The aim of this study was to evaluate dosimetric aspects of high-dose-rate (HDR) intrauterine brachytherapy applications and to discuss a possible definition of vaginal points for dose reporting.HDR brachytherapy was performed using a "Fletcher-like" applicator. Doses to the vaginal mucosa were assessed using 2 sets of points for each ovoid.

Postoperative High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy in the Prevention of Keloids

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 2007
The aim of this study is to show the efficiency of keloidectomy and postoperative interstitial high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy in the prevention of keloids.Between 1998 and 2004, 35 patients with 54 keloids were treated postoperatively with HDR brachytherapy.

High dose rate brachytherapy for prostate cancer

Cancer/Radiothérapie, 2008
High dose rate (HDR) afterloading brachytherapy in the management of localised prostate cancer has practical, physical and biological advantages over low dose rate seed brachytherapy. There are no free live sources used, no risk of source loss and since the implant is a temporary procedure following discharge no issues with regard to radioprotection ...

High-dose rate brachytherapy for carcinoma of the cervix

Current Opinion in Oncology, 1993
Increasingly popular in Europe and Asia as the intracavitary component for cervical cancer radiotherapy, high-dose rate brachytherapy demonstrates certain advantages over historical low-dose rate treatments. High-dose rate intracavitary treatment improves radiation safety, lessens treatment times, allows for outpatient treatment regimens, and has ...

Pulsed dose rate and fractionated high dose rate brachytherapy: Choice of brachytherapy schedules to replace low dose rate treatments

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1996
Pulsed dose rate (PDR) brachytherapy is a new type of afterloading brachytherapy (BT) in which a continuous low dose rate (LDR) treatment is simulated by a series of "pulses," i.e., fractions of short duration (less than 0.5 h) with intervals between fractions of 1 to a few hours. At the Dr.

High dose rate brachytherapy for the palliation of malignant dysphagia

Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2003
High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy is a commonly used palliative treatment for esophageal carcinoma. We evaluated the outcome of HDR brachytherapy in patients with malignant dysphagia.A retrospective analysis over a 10-year period was performed of 149 patients treated with HDR brachytherapy, administered in one or two sessions, at a median dose of 15Gy.
