Image-guided interstitial brachytherapy boost for nasopharyngeal carcinoma: technical aspects
Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy, 2020 Nasopharyngeal cancer generally responds well to concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). However, there is a small group of patients who respond poorly to CCRT, and experience local residual tumor or local relapse.

Computer-assisted interstitial brachytherapy [PDF]
, 1998 We present the current state-of-the art of computer-assisted interstitial (fractionated) brachytherapy as a “picture-book” without wanting to give an in-depth presentation of either brachytherapy itself or of otolaryngologic aspects of oncologic treatment.

A Brachytherapy Plan Evaluation Tool for Interstitial Applications [PDF]
Advances in Bioinformatics, 2014 Radiobiological metrics such as tumor control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) help in assessing the quality of brachytherapy plans. Application of such metrics in clinics as well as research is still inadequate. This study presents the implementation of two indigenously designed plan evaluation modules: Brachy_TCP ...
