ANALGESIA IN INTRACAVITARY CERVICAL BRACHYTHERAPY APPLICATIONS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intracavitary brachytherapy treatment has a very important role in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. Brachytherapy is painful procedure, especially whom opening cannot be achieved, and requires analgesia immobilization. The American Association (ABA) recommends the use of conscious sedation as much possible intracavitary high-doserate (HDR) applications diagnosed In this review, we wanted to discuss types necessity application cancer, which an health problem our country.

By the early 1950s, after its discovery and implementation in medicine, brachytherapy (BT) had become a wellestablished modality of treatment.. As it is today, intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT) was used to deliver most of the central tumor dose for cervical cancer [1]. Because of the developments in external beam radiotherapy, allowing delivery of doses to deep tumors competitive with those ac...
متن کاملCaudal epidural anesthesia during intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer
It has been suggested that pain control during intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer is insufficient in most hospitals in Japan. Our hospital began using caudal epidural anesthesia during high-dose-rate (HDR) intracavitary brachytherapy in 2011. The purpose of the present study was to retrospectively investigate the effects of caudal epidural anesthesia during HDR intracavitary brachy...
