High dose rate intracavitary radiation therapy of carcinoma of the cervix using a linear source.
One hundred patients with carcinoma of the cervix stages 1B to 4A were treated with intracavitary high dose rate radiation using a linear cobalt source. All cases have received external beam pelvic irradiation to 4500cGy mid plane in twenty fractions over four weeks. The results in terms of patient compliance and convenience were good while acute and late morbidities were comparable to standard...
متن کاملImage guided radiation therapy boost in combination with high-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy for the treatment of cervical cancer
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the dosimetric and clinical feasibility of image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) combined with high-dose-rate (HDR) intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT) to improve dose distribution in cervical cancer treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS For 42 cervical cancer patients, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were acquired after completion of whole...
متن کاملResults of radiation therapy for uterine cervical cancer using high dose rate remote after loading system.
In Japan, radiotherapy with high dose rate remote after loading system (HDR-RALS) for intracavitary brachytherapy is the standard treatment for more than 30 years. This report showed the usefulness of HDR-RALS for uterine cervical cancer. From 1980 through 1999, 442 patients with uterine cervical cancers (stage I: 66, stage II: 161, stage III: 165, stage IV: 50) were treated. Radiotherapy was p...
متن کاملHigh-dose-rate intraoperative radiation therapy for colorectal cancer.
Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) has the obvious advantage of maximally irradiating the tumor bed while eliminating surrounding normal organs from the field of radiation. This approach has been especially useful when the required radiation dose exceeds the tolerance dose of the surrounding normal tissues. However, the application of IORT has been significantly limited by cost, logistic i...
متن کاملTreatment of cervical carcinoma with high-dose rate intracavitary brachytherapy: two years follow-up study.
AIMS This study focused on pelvic recurrence rate and late complications following treatment with high dose rate brachytherapy with a three fractionation scheme. SETTING AND DESIGN This retrospective observational study was conducted from 1st November 2003 to 31st March 2005 at a tertiary care centre. METHODS AND MATERIALS Women were treated with external beam radiotherapy and three fractio...
