Brachytherapy using radiation carriers: Case series
نویسندگان
چکیده
Brachytherapy reduces the post radiation sequalae as dose required is lower than external beam therapy (EBRT) and limits area of exposure. This case report outlines two different patients managed by fabrication carrier prosthesis for duration brachytherapy.

Radiation biology in brachytherapy.
The biological rationale for the use of brachytherapy, which is undergoing a significant resurgence in the United States, is reviewed with emphasis on low dose rate (LDR brachytherapy). Some of the newer alternatives that have recently been developed, such as pulsed dose rate (PDR) brachytherapy, are discussed.

متن کاملEffects of different carriers for adsorption of I-125 on brachytherapy sources
Background: One of the key techniques for the preparation of 125I seeds is adsorption of 125I onto silver bits coated by palladium (pd). Carriers played an important role in the adsorption of 125I on palladium. KI is used as a carrier for fixing of 125I onto silver wire bits coated with palladium. Materials and Methods: Three procedures KI, KOH, NH4OH were investigated for adsorption of ...

متن کاملA Case of Radiation Bronchitis Induced Massive Hemoptysis after High-Dose-Rate Endobronchial Brachytherapy
High-dose-rate endobronchial brachytherapy (HDREB) have been used as the treatment of early endobronchial cancer, as well as for palliation of advanced cancer. However, fatal hemoptysis can occur after HDREB at the rate of 7~32%. We report a case of massive hemoptysis due to radiation bronchitis developed after HDREB. A 67-year-old man was treated with HDREB for early endobronchial cancer on th...
