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 Implant Brachytherapy in Small Animals

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1997
This article presents highlights of the physics, implantation technique, and clinical application of iridium-192 interstitial implant brachytherapy. Some of the physical differences between iridium-192 brachytherapy and cobalt-60 teletherapy are compared.

[Update on interstitial brachytherapy].

Der Radiologe, 2012
Minimally invasive treatment procedures, such as image-guided local tumour ablation have gained increasing relevance in oncologic concepts. Limitations of thermal ablation procedures have led to the development of percutaneous, computed tomography (CT) guided brachytherapy.Thermal ablation procedures, such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and laser ...

Brachytherapy—Interstitial Implant Radiosurgery

1993
With both surgery and radiosurgery a selective destruction and removal of a lesion is undertaken. Using interstitial irradiation a calculated volume of necrosis is induced, which is subsequently removed by macrophage activity. Interstitial irradiation is therefore considered a radiosurgical method. To better understand the side effects of radiosurgical

Dose optimisation in single plane interstitial brachytherapy

Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2006
Brachytherapy dose distributions can be optimised by modulation of source dwell times. In this study dose optimisation in single planar interstitial implants was evaluated in order to quantify the potential benefit in patients.In 14 patients, treated for recurrent rectal and cervical cancer, flexible catheters were sutured intra-operatively to the ...

Gastrointestinal toxicity of transperineal interstitial prostate brachytherapy

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 2002
To characterize the severity and time course of rectal toxicity following transperineal prostate brachytherapy using prospectively recorded data, and to determine factors associated with toxicity.One hundred thirty-four patients with prostate cancer treated with transperineal brachytherapy from 1997 to 1999 had rectal toxicity data available for ...

Intraoperative interstitial microwave-induced hyperthermia and brachytherapy

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1985
Intra-operative placement of 11-gauge nylon catheters into deep-seated unresectable tumors for interstitial brachytherapy permits localized heating of tumors (hyperthermia) using microwave (915 MHz) antennas which are inserted into these catheters. Four preliminary cases are described where epithelial tumors at various sites were implanted with an ...

Brachytherapy--interstitial implant radiosurgery.

Acta neurochirurgica. Supplementum, 1994
With both surgery and radiosurgery a selective destruction and removal of a lesion is undertaken. Using interstitial irradiation a calculated volume of necrosis is induced, which is subsequently removed by macrophage activity.

Stereotactic Interstitial Brachytherapy for Malignant Brain Tumors

2015
Results of recent studies of patients with glioblastoma multiforme show that when these lesions recur after irradiation, they do so most commonly within 2 cm of the original site (Hochberg and Pruitt 1980). Moreover, metastases from malignant gliomas within the central nervous system are uncommon (Erlich and Davis 1978) and systemic metastases are rare
