متن کاملHigh Dose Rate versus Low Dose Rate Brachytherapy for Oral Cancer – A Meta-Analysis of Clinical Trials
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of high dose rate (HDR) and low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy in treating early-stage oral cancer. DATA SOURCES A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases, restricted to English language up to June 1, 2012, was performed to identify potentially relevant studies. STUDY SELECTION Only randomized controlled trials (RCT) an...
متن کاملHigh-Dose-Rate 192Ir Brachytherapy Dose Verification: A Phantom Study
BACKGROUND The high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy might be an effective tool for palliation of dysphagia. Because of some concerns about adverse effects due to absorbed radiation dose, it is important to estimate absorbed dose in risky organs during this treatment. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to measure the absorbed dose in the parotid, thyroid, and submandibular gland, eye, trachea, spinal c...
متن کاملPositional variation of applicators during low dose rate intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer: a prospective study
PURPOSE In order to know the effect of variation in position of applicators to the dose received by the tumor volume, critical organs such as rectum and bladder and the correlation of variation on the clinical outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS 36 patients with histologically proven cervical cancer, undergoing intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT) from October 2005 to December 2006 were the subjects ...
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...
