High-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for gynecologic malignancies.
PURPOSE The study aimed to assess the outcome of locally advanced cervical and vaginal cancer treated with high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDRB). METHODS AND MATERIALS Between 1998 and 2004, 16 previously unirradiated patients with locally advanced cervical and vaginal cancer not suitable for intracavitary brachytherapy because of distorted anatomy or extensive vaginal disease were...
متن کاملHigh-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for gynecologic malignancies—dosimetric changes during treatment period
To overcome cranio-caudal needle displacement in pelvic high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDRIB), we have been utilizing a fullystretched elastic tape to thrust the template into the perineum. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate dosimetric changes during the treatment period using this thrusting method, and to explore reproducible planning methods based on the results of t...
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 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 کاملDose gradient impact on equivalent dose at 2 Gy for high dose rate interstitial brachytherapy
PURPOSE To evaluate a new calculation model estimating the equivalent dose at 2 Gy (EQD2) taking into account dose gradient in high dose rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDRIB). MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty dose-volume histograms (DVHs) of breast (20 pts) and prostate (20 pts) cancer dose distributions were reviewed. Physical prescribed doses (PPD) were 34 Gy (10f/5d) and 18 Gy (6f/2d) for brea...
