Image-guided high-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy in the treatment of medically inoperable early-stage endometrioid type endometrial adenocarcinoma.
PURPOSE The purpose of this case series is to describe the treatment and outcomes of a cohort of patients with inoperable early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer with 3D image-guided high-dose-rate (HDR) intracavitary brachytherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A review was performed of patients with early-stage endometrial cancer who underwent primary radiation treatment between 2010 and 2016. ...
متن کاملDefinitive three-dimensional high-dose-rate brachytherapy for inoperable endometrial cancer
PURPOSE To report our experience on high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) in patients with stage I-III endometrial cancer unfit to surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventeen patients underwent HDR-BT as definitive treatment. Median age was 79 years (range, 60-95), median Karnofsky performance status 90% (range, 60-100). Histology was endometrial adenocarcinoma in 14 (82%), and non-endometrial in...
متن کامل”Maximum dose” points in cervical and endometrial cancer medium dose rate brachytherapy
Background: Best dose distribution in target volume and control of Organ at Risk (OAR) dose are the two main goals in brachytherapy. Materials and Methods: In this study in vivo dosimetry in 4 rectal points was performed by Transillumination Dosimeter (TLD) s and the measured doses were compared in different patients. One point was reported to have the maximum dose in each patient and the very ...
متن کاملSingle fraction multimodal image guided focal salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy for recurrent prostate cancer
PURPOSE We present a novel method for treatment of locally recurrent prostate cancer (PCa) following radiation therapy: focal, multimodal image guided high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We treated two patients with recurrent PCa after primary (#1) or adjuvant (#2) external beam radiation therapy. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), choline, positron emiss...
متن کاملPrimary radiotherapy with endobronchial high-dose-rate brachytherapy boost for inoperable lung cancer: long-term results.
BACKGROUND To retrospectively evaluate the outcome of patients with inoperable non-small-cell lung cancer treated with primary external beam radiotherapy combined with high-dose-rate endobronchial brachytherapy boost. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 1988 and 2005, 35 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (stage I-III) ineligible for surgical resection and/or chemotherapy, were primarily treat...
