Abstract:
Purpose: dosimetric comparison of high dose rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDR) and irradiation with electrons for radiation boost after whole-breast irradiation. Material and methods: in 62 patients with рТ1N0М0-рТ2№М0 breast cancer we used HDR brachytherapy for delivering boost to tumor bed. In all cases insertion of plastic needles was performed under CT control with subsequent 3D planning. Pre-insertion CT were used for 3D planning of boost delivery with electrons. Results: Boost delivery with HDR brachytherapy had several important advantages when compared with boost with electrons. HDR

Abstract:
Purpose. Angiosarcoma of the face and scalp is a rare disease with high rates of recurrence. The optimal treatment approach is not well defined. This study presents a dosimetric comparison of high-dose-rate surface applicator (HDR-SA) brachytherapy to volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT). Methods. Between 2011 and 2018, 12 patients with primary or recurrent angiosarcoma of the face or scalp were treated with HDR-SA brachytherapy using CT-based planning at our institution. For comparison, deliverable VMAT plans for each patient were generated, and dose distribution was compared to the delive

PURPOSE High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy is a critical treatment modality—both palliative and curative—for gynecologic malignancies that significantly burden low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Abstract:
A technique of radiation therapy delivery in which the radioactive sources are placed very close or even inside the target volume is called Brachytherapy (BT). Brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy. It destroys cancer cells by making it hard for them to multiply. In this technique, a radiation source is placed directly into or near a tumour. High dose-rate brachytherapy is also known as HDR brachytherapy, or temporary brachytherapy. It is a type of internal radiotherapy. HDR was developed to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence while shortening the amount of time it takes to get radiati

One out of eight deaths throughout the world is due to cancer. Developing new treatments and improving existing treatments is hence of major importance.

HDR brachytherapy is a radiation modality used to treat tumours of for example the cervix, prostate, breasts, and skin. In HDR brachytherapy catheters are implanted into or close to the tumour volume. A radioactive source is moved through the catheters, and by adjusting where the catheters are pl

Abstract:
Brachytherapy is one the most effective treatment modalities for both gynecological (GYN) cancer and prostate cancer. The clinical outcome of brachytherapy, both high-dose-rate (HDR) and low-dose-rate (LDR), depends on the precision of the desired or planned dose distribution and delivery. In HDR procedure, the accuracy of reconstruction of catheters or needles (e.g. Syed catheter or Simon-Heyman capsule for GYN or needles for prostate) from CT images can significantly affect the accuracy of dose distribution in the treatment (dosimetric) plan, which can result in unwanted clinical outcome.
