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.

Biopsy‐proven residual cervical cancer at the end of combined chemoradiation predicts poor outcome—Retrospective single‐center cohort study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 2, Page 368-376, February 2026.
Biopsy‐proven residual tumor at the end of chemoradiation identifies patients at high risk for disease progression. Despite achieving a delayed histologic complete response 6 weeks later, these patients show significantly worse progression‐free survival, suggesting the prognostic value of early tissue‐based response assessment during brachytherapy ...

3D transformer-based dose prediction in HDR brachytherapy for cervical cancer

BMC Cancer
Background The clinical process of high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDRBT) is time-consuming and relies on user expertise and preference. Deep learning-based dose prediction can act as a quality assurance (QA) tool to identify suboptimal needle placement ...

Treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with gluteus medius metastasis: a case report and a literature review

Frontiers in Oncology
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for 85%–90% of all primary liver cancers (PLCs). Owing to the occult nature of HCC, most patients present at an advanced stage at the time of initial diagnosis and have a poor prognosis.

Magnetic resonance imaging for localization of prostate cancer in the setting of biochemical recurrence [PDF]

, 2016
The clinical suspicion of local recurrence of prostate cancer after radical treatment is based on the onset of biochemical failure. The use of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for prostate cancer has increased over recent years, mainly ...

Quantifying stent‐induced dose perturbations in intravascular brachytherapy using 3D‐ printed phantoms and film dosimetry

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Background Coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of death worldwide, is the narrowing of coronary arteries due to atherosclerotic plaque buildup. A common treatment for CAD is percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), often involving stent placement. However, a common complication or in‐stent restenosis (ISR) can occur in 10%–20% of

Brachytherapy practice during the COVID-19 pandemic: a review on the practice changes

Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a havoc across the globe, and has significantly affected oncology services, especially radiation therapy due to the need of social distancing as a measure for the pandemic mitigation. Brachytherapy, being an integral part
