The Effect of Contemporary Brachytherapy Practices on Prognosis in Women with Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer

Current Oncology, 2023
(1) Background: Over the past two decades use of new imaging modalities and the adaptation of applicators have allowed for advances in volumetric (3D) imaging-based brachytherapy practices for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.

Safety and Efficacy of Salvage Treatment for Recurrent Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study Over 10 Years

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background To analyze survival outcomes and identify prognostic factors in patients with locoregionally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) receiving salvage treatment, and to evaluate the safety profile of re‐irradiation. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 95 patients with recurrent NPC (rM0) who were diagnosed and ...

Proof-of-concept of real-time electromagnetic guidance for gynecologic interstitial catheters in high dose rate brachytherapy

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology
Background and Purpose: The addition of interstitial needles to intracavitary gynecologic (GYN) high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy has been shown to improve target coverage and organs-at-risk (OAR) sparing.

Generation of 3D reference dosimetric datasets towards adoption of model‐based dose calculations for permanent implant prostate brachytherapy

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Purpose This work aims to create and validate a comprehensive set of test cases and 3D reference dosimetric datasets for model‐based dose calculation algorithms (MBDCAs) in permanent implant prostate brachytherapy. These test cases address the limits of the standard TG‐43 formalism towards improving dose evaluations in prostate cancer ...

Combining flat‐panel imaging with internal BB markers for precise HDR brachytherapy source localization: A simulation study

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Background High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy delivers concentrated radiation to the tumor by placing a high‐dose‐rate radioactive source directly inside the target. However, the sharp dose falloff also increases susceptibility to errors and uncertainties.
