Brachytherapy guideline in prostate cancer (high and low dose rate).
The Guidelines Project, an initiative of the Brazilian Medical Association, aims to combine information from the medical field in order to standardize procedures to assist the reasoning and decision-making of doctors. The information provided through this project must be assessed and criticized by the physician responsible for the conduct that will be adopted, depending on the conditions and th...
متن کاملFractionated High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy
Purpose: A growing body of data suggests that local control in nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is related to the radiation dose administered. We conducted a singleinstitution study of high-dose radiotherapy (RT), which incorporated high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT). These results were analyzed together with data obtained from controls who did not receive BT. Patients and Methods: The BT group...
متن کاملLow-dose-rate or high-dose-rate brachytherapy in treatment of prostate cancer – between options
PURPOSE Permanent low-dose-rate (LDR-BT) and temporary high-dose-rate (HDR-BT) brachytherapy are competitive techniques for clinically localized prostate radiotherapy. Although a randomized trial will likely never to be conducted comparing these two forms of brachytherapy, a comparative analysis proves useful in understanding some of their intrinsic differences, several of which could be exploi...
متن کاملModification of Source Strength in Low-Dose-Rate Lung Brachytherapy with 125I and 103Pd seeds
Background:Â A new treatment approach for most patients who have undergone early stage non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), is wedge resection plus permanent implant brachytherapy. However, the specification of dose to medium at low energies especially in heterogeneous lung is unclear yet.Objective:Â The present study aims to modify source strength for different configurations of 125I and 103...
متن کاملHigh-dose-rate brachytherapy delivered in two fractions as monotherapy for low-risk prostate cancer
PURPOSE High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy has been accepted as an effective and safe method to treat prostate cancer. The aim of this study was to describe acute toxicity following HDR brachytherapy to the prostate, and to examine the association between dosimetric parameters and urinary toxicity in low-risk prostate cancer patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with low-risk prostate cance...
