Comparison of two high dose rate brachytherapy regimes

Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2023
Background: Two HDR brachytherapy regimes were compared, 9.5 Gray per fraction for two fractions and 7.5 Gray per fraction for three fractions. Materials and Methods: A total of 80 patients with histologically evident squamous cell carcinoma cervix were ...

Second salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy for radiorecurrent prostate cancer [PDF]

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 ...

A Brief Review of Low-Dose Rate (LDR) and High-Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy Boost for High-Risk Prostate [PDF]

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 ...

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.

Adjuvant high dose rate brachytherapy for soft tissue sarcomas: initial experience report

Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy, 2011
Purpose: Adjuvant high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDRBT) offers advantages over low dose rate brachytherapy (LDRBT), although there are little data on local tumor control and treatment related toxicity. We report outcome in patients with primary, recurrent,

Postoperative management of keloids: Low-dose-rate and high-dose-rate brachytherapy

Brachytherapy, 2014
We report the experience of the Radiation Oncology Department of the European Institute of Oncology in Milan, Italy, on the adjuvant low-dose-rate (LDR) and high-dose-rate (HDR) interstitial brachytherapy. Brachytherapy might be useful to improve keloids recurrence rate or reduce keloids treatment side effects instead of external beam radiotherapy.Data

Impact of different Ir-192 source models on dose calculations in high-dose-rate brachytherapy

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2018
In high-dose-rate brachytherapy, the geometry of the radioactive source is sometimes updated. Some institutions use a different source model for the dose calculation in treatment planning and treatment.
