Boost in radiotherapy: external beam sunset, brachytherapy sunrise
Radiobiological limitations for dose escalation in external radiotherapy are presented. Biological and clinical concept of brachytherapy boost to increase treatment efficacy is discussed, and different methods are compared. Oncentra Prostate 3D conformal real-time ultrasound-guided brachytherapy is presented as a solution for boost or sole therapy.
متن کاملCombining external beam radiotherapy with prostate brachytherapy: issues and rationale.
a he optimal treatment for clinically localized prostate cancer remains controversial. For paients with low-risk prostate cancer (Stage T1c2a, Gleason score less than 7, prostate-specific ntigen [PSA] of 10.0 ng/mL), monotherapy with adical prostatectomy, three-dimensional conforal radiotherapy (3D-CRT), intensity-modulated T, or prostate brachytherapy results in similar iochemical relapse-free...
متن کاملCombination therapy-permanent interstitial brachytherapy and external beam radiotherapy for patients with localized prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND Combination of permanent interstitial brachytherapy based on radioactive iodine with external beam radiotherapy is an alternative to other treatment modalities, such as radical prostatectomy or external beam radiotherapy alone in patients with intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer. In this article we report our experience with this combination modality. METHODS Among patients...
متن کاملProstate-specific antigen kinetics following hypofractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy boost as post-external beam radiotherapy versus conventionally fractionated external beam radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer
BACKGROUND Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has emerged as an effective treatment for localized prostate cancer. The purpose of this study was to compare the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics between conventionally fractionated external beam radiotherapy (CF-EBRT) and SBRT boost after whole pelvis EBRT (WP-EBRT) in localized prostate cancer. METHODS A total of 77 patients with loc...
متن کاملStereotactic body radiotherapy as monotherapy or post-external beam radiotherapy boost for prostate cancer: technique, early toxicity, and PSA response.
PURPOSE High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy has been established as an excellent monotherapy or after external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT) boost treatment for prostate cancer (PCa). Recently, dosimetric studies have demonstrated the potential for achieving similar dosimetry with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) compared with HDR brachytherapy. Here, we report our technique, PSA nadir, and acut...
