curative interstitial BracHytHeraPy For early stage carcinoma liP

Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2006
Brachytherapy is potentially useful in the treatment of head-and-neck cancers, because most tumor sites, such as the lip, tongue, floor of mouth, tonsil, pharynx, nasopharynx, sinuses, and neck, are accessible for the placement of afterloading ...

Influence of radiotherapy dose rate on gold nanoparticle‐induced radiosensitization from high dose‐rate brachytherapy and external beam therapy

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Background Associated normal tissue toxicity from current radiotherapy (RT) treatments limits effective dose escalation in the tumor to achieve nominal treatment results. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) as radiosensitizing agents to locally increase photoelectron production have gained interest as a safe and viable method to improve therapeutic ...

Impact of Lymphedema on Women's Lives After Gynaecological Cancer: An Integrative Review

Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences, Volume 40, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Secondary Lower‐Limb Lymphedema (LLL) is a frequent, progressive late effect affecting women after gynaecological cancer treatment, causing swelling due to fluid accumulation in the interstitial spaces in the lower extremities, the lower abdomen, hips and genitals. There is no consensus on how to define and quantify LLL, which makes

Impact of rectal gas evacuation on dosimetry and applicator displacement in cervical cancer brachytherapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the impact of rectal gas evacuation on organ‐at‐risk (OAR) volumes, dose‐volume histogram (DVH) parameters, and applicator displacement during cervical cancer brachytherapy. Methods Twenty‐one cervical cancer patients who received three‐dimensional brachytherapy at our center between November and December
