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

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 ...

Multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy for breast cancer

Cancer/Radiothérapie, 2018
Brachytherapy remains the best irradiation technique to deliver a high dose in a small volume. Breast brachytherapy is part of the arsenal of therapy in the management of breast cancer. In this article, we present the technical data related to multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy to the breast proceeding, from the implantation of the vectors to the

Interstitial brachytherapy procedures for brain tumors

Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 1997
Promising results have been obtained using brachytherapy in the treatment of brain tumors. Very low-dose rate brachytherapy (60-100 Gy given at 0.05-0.10 Gy/h) has been used for low-grade gliomas, resulting in 5- and 10-year survival probabilities of 85% and 83% for pilocytic astrocytomas and 61% and 51% for grade II astrocytomas. Only 2.6% of patients

Interstitial Brachytherapy for Skull Base Tumors

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2000
1. Irrespective of the histology, all tumors responded to 125I permanent BT. 2. There were no intra- or postprocedural complications, making this modality extremely safe. 3. There were no acute or late complications attributable to continuous LDR radiation with 125I permanent BT. 4.

Interstitial brachytherapy for malignant brain tumors

Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 1998
For nearly 20 years, interstitial brachytherapy has been used as adjuvant treatment for malignant brain tumors in both prospective clinical trials and as part of standard therapy. Numerous publications analyzing the results of this treatment seem to indicate an improvement in median survival for highly selected patients.

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.
