Boost Approaches in Patients Undergoing Postoperative Radiotherapy

Journal of Surgical Oncology, Volume 133, Issue 6, Page 773-784, May 2026.
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.

Accelerated partial breast irradiation with interstitial multicatheter brachytherapy after breast-conserving surgery for low-risk early breast cancer

Breast, 2020
Patients with low-risk invasive ductal carcinoma treated with breast-conserving surgery (BCS) were included in a multicatheter brachytherapy APBI protocol. The primary endpoint was ipsilateral breast recurrence.

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 ...

Deep learning‐based auto‐contouring for organs at risk in three‐dimensional image‐guided brachytherapy for cervical cancer and endometrial cancer

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Background Automatic contouring can reduce the time required for delineating organs at risk (OARs) in brachytherapy planning and minimize interobserver variability. Purpose This study aimed to develop and evaluate a deep learning‐based automatic contouring model for OARs in three‐dimensional image‐guided brachytherapy (3D‐IGBT) for cervical ...

Successful Interstitial HDR Brachytherapy for Nasal Skin SCC in Xeroderma Pigmentosum: An Eight‐Year Follow‐Up Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐dose‐rate interstitial brachytherapy may provide durable local control with acceptable cosmetic outcomes in carefully selected patients with xeroderma pigmentosum and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. This long‐term follow‐up case questions the absolute contraindication of radiotherapy in XP and underscores the importance of ...

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 ...
