Palliative endobronchial brachytherapy for central lung tumors. A prospective, randomized comparison of two fractionation schedules.
AIM OF THE STUDY Remote high dose rate brachytherapy is an effective local treatment modality for central lung tumors and has the potential to improve survival time. Optimal dose and fractionation schemes have not been identified yet. We conducted a prospective randomized study to compare two treatment schedules in terms of survival time, local tumor control, and possible complications. DESIG...

Background: To date, different kinds of treatment methods have been proposed for radiotherapy of cancer patients. Choosing the kind of treatment method affects the quality of the patient's treatment. This study aims to investigate the effect of the number of radiation treatment sessions on the dose received by the patient and the distribution of tumor dose and dose received by organs at risk in...
متن کاملA Prospective Randomized Study on Two Dose Fractionation Regimens of High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy for Carcinoma of the Uterine Cervix: Comparison of Efficacies and Toxicities Between Two Regimens
To evaluate the toxicities and efficacies of two fractionation regimens of high-dose-rate brachytherapy in uterine cervical cancer, patients were stratified by stage Ib-IIa versus IIb-IVa, and randomly assigned to receive 3 Gy fractions (group A) or 5 Gy fractions (group B). External radiotherapy was performed using a 10 MV radiography with a daily 1.8 Gy up to 30.6 Gy to the whole pelvis, and ...
متن کاملRadiation therapy for carcinoma of the uterine cervix: comparison of two brachytherapy schedules
We compared the survival rates and late effects for two groups of cervical cancer patients treated with almost the same external radiotherapy but different remote afterloading systems (RALS) for high-dose-rate intracavitary radiation therapy regimens. A total of 218 patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix were treated. For 98 patients, intracavitary brachytherapy was delivered with 6-7.5 ...
