Focal salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy with implantable rectum spacer for locally recurrent prostate cancer after initial low-dose-rate with grade 3 rectal toxicity

, 2023
Purpose: Locally recurrent prostate cancer after previous radiation therapy remains challenging. One of the cura-tive options for these patients is salvage brachytherapy.

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

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

Efficacy of focal high-dose-rate brachytherapy in the treatment of patients diagnosed with low or favourable intermediate-risk prostate cancer—a protocol for a randomised controlled trial

BMJ Open, 2023
Introduction Prostate cancer (PCa) is men’s second most predominant cancer worldwide. Because the prostate-specific antigen test is used in diagnostics, PCa is more often diagnosed in the early stages, making radical treatment of the disease possible ...

Prognostic implication of simultaneous anemia and lymphopenia during concurrent chemoradiotherapy in cervical squamous cell carcinoma

Tumor Biology, 2017
Radioresistance often leads to poor survival in concurrent chemoradiotherapy–treated cervical squamous cell carcinoma, and reliable biomarkers can improve prognosis.

An audit of high dose-rate prostate brachytherapy treatment planning at six Swedish clinics

, 2021
Purpose: High dose-rate prostate brachytherapy has been implemented in Sweden in the late 1980s and early 1990s in six clinics using the same schedule: 20 Gy in two fractions combined with 50 Gy in 25 fractions with external beam radiation therapy ...

Urethral toxicity vs. cancer control-Lessons to be learned from high-dose rate brachytherapy combined with intensity-modulated radiation therapy in intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer

, 2011
To describe biochemical relapse-free survival (BRFS) and late toxicity after combined high-dose rate brachytherapy (HDR-B) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer ...

High-dose-rate brachytherapy (interventional radiotherapy) in lip carcinoma with rigid needles: a simple technique with excellent results

Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy, 2022
Lip carcinoma has been treated for years with low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy, achieving local control greater than 90%. Comparison between LDR and high-dose-rate (HDR) showed that they are equivalently efficient in local control, but HDR results in ...
