An Innovative Concept of High-Dose-Rate (HDR) Intracavitary Brachytherapy with an Intrauterine Inflatable Balloon for Endometrial Carcinoma
Purpose: Curative radiation therapy is an established treatment option for non-surgical patients with early-stage endometrial carcinoma. Dosimetric analyses were performed using a single tandem, double tandem, Heyman capsules, and an inflatable intrauterine balloon to assess the dose homogeneity and conformality in the definitive treatment of inoperable endometrial cancer. Methods and Materials...
متن کاملAn analysis of simulation for adjuvant intracavitary high-dose-rate brachytherapy in early-stage endometrial cancer.
PURPOSE The utility of serial simulations in vaginal vault irradiation is controversial. Our primary endpoint was to assess the significance of simulation in women who received adjuvant intracavitary high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) for early-stage endometrial adenocarcinoma. Secondary endpoints included assessment of acute and late treatment toxicity, medication requirements, and charges ...
متن کاملDosimetry and toxicity outcomes in postoperative high-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy for endometrial carcinoma
PURPOSE The optimal dosimetric parameters and planning techniques for high-dose-rate vaginal brachytherapy (HDR-VB) are unclear. Our aim was to evaluate the utility of bladder and rectal dosimetry for patients receiving HDR-VB for postoperative treatment of endometrial carcinoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with endometrial cancer who underwent postoperative HDR-VB from January 1, 2004 thro...
متن کاملThe dosimetric impact of vaginal balloon-packing on intracavitary high-dose-rate brachytherapy for gynecological cancer
PURPOSE We perform a clinical retrospective study to determine whether a vaginal balloon-packing system provides a dosimetric reduction to organs at risk (OARs) versus traditional gauze packing for gynecological high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT). We also test various balloon filling materials for optimizing imaging quality. MATERIAL AND METHODS Filling materials for balloon-packing were e...
متن کاملDosimetric evaluation of multilumen intracavitary balloon applicator rotation in high‐dose‐rate brachytherapy for breast cancer
The objective of this work is to evaluate dosimetric impact of multilumen balloon applicator rotation in high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy for breast cancer. Highly asymmetrical dose distribution was generated for patients A and B, depending upon applicator proximity to skin and rib. Both skin and rib spacing was ≤ 0.7 cm for A; only rib spacing was ≤ 0.7 cm for B. Thirty-five rotation scenari...
