The histopathologic evaluation of soft tissue changes in rabbit extremity after different dose-fractionation schemes of interstitial high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy.
BACKGROUND The use of HDR in the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma had been on the rise. However, there was limited study to evaluate the effect of different fractionation schemes on soft tissue and the optimal HDR scheme. AIMS We aimed to assess the histopathologic changes on soft tissue after different HDR brachytherapy doses. METHODS The subjects were divided into three groups. Each group...

متن کاملInterstitial high-dose-rate brachytherapy after breast conserving surgery.
We evaluated local recurrence, toxicity rate and cosmetic outcome in 72 patients treated with high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy after breast conserving surgery. HDR brachytherapy was administered: i) as partial breast irradiation (PBI) in 64 patients with low-risk early stage breast cancer, enrolled in a phase II prospective study; ii) as PBI after a second conservative surgery as treatment of...
