High-dose-rate brachytherapy using molds for lip and oral cavity tumors
BACKGROUND High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy using the mold technique is a less invasive treatment for early lip and oral cavity cancer. However, limited reports exist regarding the feasibility of this method. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the outcome of this therapy and investigated its feasibility for lip and oral cavity tumors. METHODS Between May 2002 and December 2010, 17 pa...
متن کاملHigh-dose-rate and pulsed-dose-rate brachytherapy for oral cavity cancer and oropharynx cancer
Interstitial brachytherapy represents the treatment of choice for small tumours, regionally localized in the oral cavity and the oropharynx. In the technical setting, continuous low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy represented for many years the gold standard for administering radiation in head and neck brachytherapy. Large series of head and neck cancer patients treated with LDR brachytherapy hav...
متن کاملHigh dose rate brachytherapy for oral cancer
Brachytherapy results in better dose distribution compared with other treatments because of steep dose reduction in the surrounding normal tissues. Excellent local control rates and acceptable side effects have been demonstrated with brachytherapy as a sole treatment modality, a postoperative method, and a method of reirradiation. Low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy has been employed worldwide fo...
متن کاملPulsed dose rate brachytherapy of lip cancer
PURPOSE PURPOSE To present our experience with pulsed dose rate brachytherapy (PDR BT) of lip cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study group included 32 T1-4N0M0 lip cancer patients with a median age of 71 years (ranged 41-87 years), treated with interstitial PDR BT to the planned total dose of 60-70 Gy; 1 Gy/pulse, pulses repeated every hour a day. There were 26 untreated patients, and six ...
متن کاملClinical outcome of high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy in patients with oral cavity cancer
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcome of high-dose-rate (HDR) interstitial brachytherapy (IBT) in patients with oral cavity cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen patients with oral cavity cancer treated with HDR remote-control afterloading brachytherapy using (192)Ir between 2001 and 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Brachytherapy was administered in 11 patients as the primary treatment ...
