EP-2217: Dose to Intermediate Risk CTV in cervical brachytherapy: A retrospective study at a UK centre

Dosimetric Consequences of Uncertainties in High-Risk CTV (HR CTV) Delineation for Cervical Cancer Brachytherapy

Evaluating variation of Hot Spot Location in order to radiobiological calculation of Organ at Risk in High-dose- rate Brachytherapy of Cervical Cancer

Introduction: Gynecological malignancies present challenges in determining an appropriate volumetric dose due to the highly variable physiologic activity of the surrounding tissue. Because of the high doses used in brachytherapy, surrounding structures have the potential to move around in the dose region and receive unknown amounts of radiation. Calculating hotspot region from ...

Evaluation of variation in dose of organs at risk in intracavitary brachytherapy of cervical cancer – a prospective study

PURPOSE The aim of this work was to evaluate the variation of dose in organs at risk (OARs) in fractionated high dose rate intracavitary brachytherapy (HDR-BT) for cervical cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective study was carried out on 20 cervical cancer patients treated with fractionated (HDR-BT). International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurement (ICRU) bladder (bICRU) and rec...

a frame semantic approach to the study of translating cultural scripts in salingers franny and zooey

the frame semantic theory is a nascent approach in the area of translation studies which goes beyond the linguistic barriers and helps us to incorporate cognitive and cultural factors to the study of translation. based on rojos analytical model (2002b), which centered in the frames or knowledge structures activated in the text, the present research explores the various translation problems that...

Interfractional change of high-risk CTV D90 during image-guided brachytherapy for uterine cervical cancer

The purpose of this study was to evaluate interfractional changes of the minimum dose delivered to 90% of the high-risk clinical target volume (HR-CTV D90) and D2cc of the bladder and rectum during brachytherapy for uterine cervical cancer patients. A total of 52 patients received external beam radiotherapy and high-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT). For each of four ICBT application...
