Survival analysis of HDR brachytherapy versus reoperation versus temozolomide alone: a retrospective cohort analysis of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme [PDF]

, 2013
Objectives Tumour recurrence of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) after initial treatment with surgical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy is an inevitable phenomenon. This retrospective cohort study compared the efficacy of interstitial high dose rate

Intraocular Metastasis: Differential Diagnosis and Management

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, Volume 54, Issue 3, Page 382-397, April 2026.
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.

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.

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
