Navigation system for interstitial brachytherapy

Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2000
To develop a computed tomography (CT) based electromagnetic navigation system for interstitial brachytherapy. This is especially designed for situations when needles have to be positioned adjacent to or within critical anatomical structures. In such instances interactive 3D visualisation of the needle positions is essential.The material consisted of a ...

Interstitial brachytherapy in carcinoma of the penis

Strahlentherapie und Onkologie, 1999
Keeping in line with the increasing emphasis on organ preservation, we at the Tata Memorial Hospital have evaluated the role of Ir-192 interstitial implant as regards local control, functional and cosmetic outcome in early as well as locally recurrent carcinoma of the distal penis.From October 1988 to December 1996, 23 patients with histopathologically

Interstitial Brachytherapy for Intracranial Metastases

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1996
In large medical centers, the availability of radiosurgery has relegated brachytherapy to a lesser role in the treatment of newly diagnosed solitary brain metastases. However, the treatment planning in radiosurgery is complex, and in some case the hardware is prohibitively expensive; low or high dose rate brachytherapy requires only a stereotactic ...

A technique for interstitial nasopharyngeal brachytherapy

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1987
Two patients have recently been seen with recurrent epidermoid carcinoma in the nasopharynx. Both have achieved local control and are disease-free after a brachytherapy procedure. Here we describe our technique for interstitial nasopharyngeal brachytherapy.

Cervical Cancer Brachytherapy in Canada: A Focus on Interstitial Brachytherapy Utilization

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 2016
Brachytherapy (BT) techniques for cervical cancer in Canada have changed over the last decade, with evolution to high-dose-rate and image-guided BT. However, there are currently no national data on the use of interstitial BT (IBT). The purpose of this study was to document IBT utilization in Canadian centers, as well as update details of cervical ...

INTERSTITIAL BRACHYTHERAPY FOR PENILE CANCER: AN ALTERNATIVE TO AMPUTATION

Journal of Urology, 2002
Interstitial brachytherapy is an effective organ sparing treatment for localized penile squamous cell carcinoma. We report results in 30 patients.From September 1989 to November 2000, 30 men with penile squamous cell carcinoma were treated with primary brachytherapy. Tumor size was 2 to 3 cm. in 8 and greater than 3 cm. in 14 (maximum 5 cm.). Tumor was

Interstitial brachytherapy: Past-present-future

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1991
This article summarizes and reviews the development of brachytherapy from 1930 to 1990. Its purpose is to highlight the immense contribution made to its underlying science and clinical practice by Dr. Frank Ellis, who has been personally involved with it, in theory and in practice, for that whole half-century. A remarkable achievement in itself, but so
