Salvage high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for locally recurrent rectal cancer*
For tumors of the lower third of the rectum, the only safe surgical procedure is abdominal-perineal resection. High-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy is a promising treatment for local recurrence of previously irradiated lower rectal cancer, due to the extremely high concentrated dose delivered to the tumor and the sparing of normal tissue, when compared with a course of external beam radiat...

متن کاملHigh-Dose Rate Salvage Interstitial Brachytherapy: A Case-Based Guide to the Treatment of Therapeutically Challenging Recurrent Vulvar Cancer
Vulvar cancer is a rare gynecological malignancy with incidence rates steadily increasing over the past 10 years. Despite aggressive treatment, recurrent disease is common. Vulvar cancer recurrence poses a significant therapeutic challenge as most patients have been previously treated with surgery and/or radiation limiting the options for additional treatment. There are no consensus guidelines ...
متن کاملHigh-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for female peri-urethral cancer.
PURPOSE Peri-urethral cancer (PUC) in females is a rare malignancy. Surgery is not usually contemplated due to associated morbidity. Radiation therapy (RT) can be employed in the form of interstitial brachytherapy (IBT) alone for early lesions, and external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) with or without IBT for advanced lesions. We report our first experience in the literature to evaluate the ro...
متن کاملConcomitant cervical and transperineal parametrial high-dose-rate brachytherapy boost for locally advanced cervical cancer.
PURPOSE There is no consensus for parametrial boost technic while both transvaginal and transperineal approaches are discussed. A prototype was developed consisting of a perineal template, allowing transperineal needle insertion. This study analyzed acute toxicity of concomitant cervical and transperineal parametrial high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDRB) boost for locally advanced cervical cancer...
