Analgesia for pelvic brachytherapy.
Pelvic brachytherapy presents the anaesthetist with numerous challenges. Patients vary from highly distressed young adults, to the elderly with coincidental disease severe enough to preclude surgery. The painful radioactive implants remain in place for a number of days. Treatment in isolated rooms reduces radiation exposure to staff, but makes close postoperative monitoring difficult, so the an...
متن کاملAccelerated partial breast irradiation using multicatheter brachytherapy for select early-stage breast cancer: local control and toxicity
BACKGROUND To investigate the efficacy and safety of accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) via high-dose-rate (HDR) multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy for early-stage breast cancer. METHODS Between 2002 and 2006, 48 prospectively selected patients with early-stage breast cancer received APBI using multicatheter brachytherapy following breast-conserving surgery. Their median age ...
متن کاملA Comparison of Skin Dose Delivered with MammoSite and Multicatheter Breast Brachytherapy
Background: Accelerated partial breast irradiation via interstitial balloon brachytherapy is a fast and effective treatment method for certain early stage breast cancers however skin, chest wall and Lung doses are correlated with toxicity in patients treated with breast brachytherapy.Objective: To investigate the percentage of the dose received by critical organ (skin), thermoluminescence detec...
متن کاملPrescription dose evaluation for APBI with noninvasive image-guided breast brachytherapy using equivalent uniform dose.
PURPOSE Noninvasive image-guided breast brachytherapy (NIBB) is an attractive novel approach to deliver accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI). Calculations of equivalent uniform dose (EUD) were performed to identify the appropriate APBI dose for this technique. METHODS AND MATERIALS APBI plans were developed for 15 patients: five with three-dimensional conformal APBI (3D-CRT), five wi...
متن کاملDose correction in lung for HDR breast brachytherapy
PURPOSE To evaluate the dosimetric impact of lung tissue in Ir-192 APBI. MATERIAL AND METHODS In a 40 × 40 × 40 cm(3) water tank, an Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) brachytherapy balloon inflated to 4 cm diameter was situated directly below the center of a 30 × 30 × 1 cm(3) solid water slab. Nine cm of solid water was stacked above the 1 cm base. A parallel plate ion chamber was...
