Salvage brachytherapy in combination with interstitial hyperthermia for locally recurrent prostate carcinoma following external beam radiation therapy: a prospective phase II study. [PDF]

, 2015
Optimal treatment for patients with only local prostate cancer recurrence after external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) failure remains unclear. Possible curative treatments are radical prostatectomy, cryosurgery, and brachytherapy.

Boost Approaches in Patients Undergoing Postoperative Radiotherapy

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of breast conservation surgery for early‐stage breast cancer is common, and adjuvant radiotherapy is often recommended to reduce the risk of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence. Historical trials have used sequential boost techniques with favorable outcomes with reduction in local recurrence and acceptable cosmetic outcomes.

Intraocular Metastasis: Differential Diagnosis and Management

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intraocular metastases represent the most common type of malignant intraocular tumour in adults. These commonly affect the choroid but can also involve the iris, ciliary body, retina, vitreous, optic disc or lens. Breast and lung cancer are the most common origins of intraocular metastases.

Dosimetric comparison of TG‐43 formalism and HU‐based AcurosBV algorithms in HDR brachytherapy for head‐and‐neck superficial lesions with H.A.M. applicators

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Background TG‐43 formalism assumes homogeneous water media, potentially overlooking anatomical heterogeneities that affect dose accuracy. AcurosBV, a model‐based dose calculation algorithm, accounts for tissue and material heterogeneities. This study evaluates their dosimetric differences in high‐dose‐rate (HDR) brachytherapy using Harrison ...
