Reirradiation of recurrent head and neck cancer using high-dose-rate brachytherapy
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the results of hypofractionated accelerated CT-guided interstitial HDR-BRT using 2.5 Gy per fraction. From December 2008 to March 2010, 30 patients were treated for recurrence of previously-irradiated head and neck cancer. Thirteen patients underwent surgical resection followed by HDR-BRT to the tumour bed. Seventeen patients were treated with HDR-BR...
متن کاملIntraoperative high-dose-rate radiotherapy in the management of locoregionally recurrent head and neck cancer.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this article was to present the Beth Israel Medical Center experience using high-dose-rate intraoperative radiotherapy (HDR-IORT) in the management of recurrent head and neck cancer. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of all patients with locally or regionally recurrent head and neck cancer who underwent HDR-IORT at our institution between 2001 and 2010. R...
متن کاملNeither high-dose nor low-dose brachytherapy increases flap morbidity in salvage treatment of recurrent head and neck cancer
PURPOSE While brachytherapy is often used concurrently with flap reconstruction following surgical ablation for head and neck cancer, it remains unclear whether it increases morbidity in the particularly high risk subset of patients undergoing salvage treatment for recurrent head and neck cancer (RH&NC). MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective chart review was undertaken that evaluated patients ...
متن کاملHigh dose rate brachytherapy for prostate cancer.
High dose rate (HDR) afterloading brachytherapy in the management of localised prostate cancer has practical, physical and biological advantages over low dose rate seed brachytherapy. There are no free live sources used, no risk of source loss and since the implant is a temporary procedure following discharge no issues with regard to radioprotection use of existing facilities. Adequate coverage...
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...
