Method of Dose Delivery in Brachytherapy for Cervical Cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is proposed for delivering an absorbed dose to a target during brachytherapy cervical cancer by using new applicator, which consists of annular part and two uterine canals. The design the applicator makes it possible implement required depth, taking into account anatomical features, widely cover cervix corporis womb with 100 % isodose irradiation, deliver planned dose. patient admitted department received first treatment fraction Interstitial Ring second subsequent fractions were performed (6 in total). In comparison standard Ring, use made increase coverage prescribed from 69.2 95.5 %. This led per course radiation therapy 70.4 85.4 Gy. Twelve plans 3 patients analyzed different fractionation schemes. all three cases, was dose, total target, more than 85 has been successfully applied N. Alexandrov National Cancer Centre womb.

”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 ...

PURPOSE To report the results of the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología México, of low dose rate brachytherapy for cervical cancer using only a tandem. A proportion of patients was treated with only a tandem, without ovoids, due to the distorted anatomy because of the tumour or previous external radiation, or sometimes due to physician preference. MATERIAL AND METHODS We report the results of...

متن کاملTreatment planning for high dose rate brachytherapy of cervical cancer based on total dose constraints.
OBJECTIVE To compare the inverse planning optimization based on total dose constraints versus conventional treatment plan (point A planning method) for cervical carcinoma, and evaluate the benefit of CT-based image-guided brachytherapy. METHODS We prospectively analyzed data of 10 consecutive patients with cervical cancer treated with external beam radiotherapy to the whole pelvis (45 Gy in 2...
متن کاملCervical Cancer - Brachytherapy
INTRODUCTION Cervical carcinoma has traditionally been treated with low-dose-rate brachytherapy. High-dose-rate brachytherapy was developed to overcome potential disadvantages of LDR brachytherapy (radiation exposure to medical staff, prolonged treatment time, mandatory hospitalization and applicator movement). Both, LDR and HDR brachytherapy have been combined with the external beam therapy (E...
