Indian Brachytherapy Society Guidelines for radiotherapeutic management of cervical cancer with special emphasis on high-dose-rate brachytherapy

Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy, 2019
Brachytherapy (BT) for locally advanced cervical cancer is vital for optimal outcomes. There is heterogeneity in brachytherapy treatment practice for cervical cancer across India. In an attempt to standardize various processes involved in cervical cancer

Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...

3D Printing a Clinically Available Solution From Plaster‐Based Positives in Superficial Radiation Therapy

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study compares two techniques for creating lead shielding masks to replace the current process for superficial/orthovoltage facial radiotherapy: Plaster Cast Positive Mould (PCPM), CT Scanned 3D Print (CT3DP), and Optical Scan 3D Print (OS3DP). CT3DP was found to be more accurate and preferred over OS3DP.

Deep Learning and Machine Learning Algorithms for Cervical Cancer Segmentation on MRI: A Systematic Review

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This systematic review summarizes current evidence on machine and deep learning algorithms for MRI‐based cervical cancer segmentation, demonstrating promising diagnostic performance and potential for workflow automation. However, methodological heterogeneity, limited external validation, and low certainty of evidence highlight the need for standardized

Health-related quality-of-life changes due to high-dose-rate brachytherapy, low-dose-rate brachytherapy, or intensity-modulated radiation therapy for prostate cancer

, 2015
To compare urinary, bowel, and sexual health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) changes due to high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy, low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy, or intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) monotherapy for prostate cancer.

Applicability and dosimetric impact of ultrasound-based preplanning in high-dose-rate brachytherapy of prostate cancer [PDF]

, 2004
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Analyses of permanent brachytherapy seed implants of the prostate have demonstrated that the use of a preplan may lead to a considerable decrease of dosimetric implant quality.

Pelvic Exenteration for Cervical Cancer: Oncological, Morbidity and Quality of Life Outcomes

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives One third of patients who undergo definitive chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer develop disease recurrence. Salvage surgery in the form of pelvic exenteration (PE) may offer improved survival and possibly cure in carefully selected patients, however robust data is scarce.

Dose rate in brachytherapy using after-loading machine: Pulsed or high-dose rate?

, 2014
International audienceSince February 2014, it is no longer possible to use low-dose rate 192 iridium wires due to the end of industrial production of IRF1 and IRF2 sources. The Brachytherapy Group of the French society of radiation oncology (GC-SFRO) has

The Choice Between Definitive Radiotherapy and Surgery for Cervical Cancer With Different Histology in Current Clinical Practice

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For cervical cancer, the choice between definitive radiotherapy (RT) and surgery has long been a topic of debate. Clinical factors, including histology and tumor burden, have been examined in prior studies. Given recent advances in RT and the incorporation of concurrent chemotherapy, our study seeks to assess the optimal treatment modality for

Image-guided high-dose-rate brachytherapy in inoperable endometrial cancer

, 2014
Inoperable endometrial cancer may be treated with curative aim using radical radiotherapy alone. The radiation techniques are external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) alone, EBRT plus brachytherapy and brachytherapy alone. Recently, high-dose-rate brachytherapy
