Dose estimation for different skin models in interstitial breast brachytherapy
PURPOSE Skin is a major organ at risk in breast-conserving therapy (BCT). The American Brachytherapy Society (ABS) recommendations require monitoring of maximum dose received, however, there is no unambiguous way of skin contouring provided. The purpose of this study was to compare the doses received by the skin in different models. MATERIAL AND METHODS Standard treatment plans of 20 patients...
متن کاملInterstitial high-dose-rate brachytherapy after breast conserving surgery.
We evaluated local recurrence, toxicity rate and cosmetic outcome in 72 patients treated with high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy after breast conserving surgery. HDR brachytherapy was administered: i) as partial breast irradiation (PBI) in 64 patients with low-risk early stage breast cancer, enrolled in a phase II prospective study; ii) as PBI after a second conservative surgery as treatment of...
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 کاملContralateral breast dose from partial breast brachytherapy
The purpose of this study was to determine the dose to the contralateral breast during accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) and to compare it to external beam-published values. Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) packets were used to measure the dose to the most medial aspect of the contralateral breast during APBI simulation, daily quality assurance (QA), and treatment. All patients in ...
متن کاملConsideration of accurate dose distribution for Contura balloon catheter in breast brachytherapy with MCNP5 simulation
Introduction: Contura is a balloon applicator that used to deliver intra cavity radiation for Partial Breast Irradiation (PBI) treatments. Contura with 4 peripheral lumens surrounding the central, for loading HDR sources from an after loader system can provide an asymmetric dose distribution and gives a more flexible shape of dose than earlier balloon applicators such as Mammo...
