Computed tomography-guided permanent brachytherapy for locoregional recurrent gastric cancer
BACKGROUND Locoregional recurrence is the typical pattern of recurrence in gastric cancer, and cannot be removed by surgery in most of the patients. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of computed tomography (CT)-guided brachytherapy for patients with locoregional recurrent gastric cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the case histories of 28 patients with locoregional recu...
متن کاملComputed Tomography–Guided Interstitial Brachytherapy for Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer
OBJECTIVE We present a new technique of 3-dimensional computed tomography-guided interstitial (IS) brachytherapy (BT) for locally advanced cervical cancer, offering a more advantageous clinical treatment approach. MATERIALS/METHODS Interstitial BT was performed using an applicator combining uterine tandem and metal needles; needles were inserted freehand under real-time 3-dimensional computed...
متن کاملAn analysis of brachytherapy with computed tomography-guided permanent implantation of Iodine-125 seeds for recurrent nonkeratin nasopharyngeal carcinoma
BACKGROUND (125)I seed implantation is a new method in treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and it is worthwhile to evaluate its feasibility. In this study, we performed brachytherapy with computed tomography (CT)-guided permanent implantation of (125)I seeds in the treatment of patients with the recurrence of NPC. METHODS A total 30 patients (20 male and ten female) at the median age...
متن کاملThe using of megavoltage computed tomography in image-guided brachytherapy for cervical cancer: a case report
We present a case of cervical cancer treated by concurrent chemoradiation. In radiation therapy part, the combination of the whole pelvic helical tomotherapy plus image-guided brachytherapy with megavoltage computed tomography of helical tomotherapy was performed. We propose this therapeutic approach could be considered in a curative setting in some problematic situation as our institution.
متن کاملCT-guided 125I brachytherapy for recurrent ovarian cancer
This retrospective study was to evaluate the local control and survival of 125I brachytherapy for recurrent ovarian cancer. 52 125I brachytherapy procedures were performed in 47 patients with 51 recurrent ovarian cancer lesions. The follow-up period was 1-55 months (median 12 months). The local control rate (LC) of 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months was 93.3%, 77.7%, 58.9%, 38.7% and 19.3%, respectivel...
