HDR brachytherapy (HDR–BT) combined with stent placement in palliative treatment of esophageal cancer
PURPOSE In the study we present the initial results of palliative treatment using combined methods of HDR-BT and stent insertion in patients with advanced esophagus cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty patients were treated in the Great Poland Cancer Center using HDR-BT between June 2001 and December 2005 and they were enrolled into the study. All patients underwent endoscopic insertion of self...
متن کاملToward optimal target placement for neural prosthetic devices.
Neural prosthetic systems have been designed to estimate continuous reach trajectories (motor prostheses) and to predict discrete reach targets (communication prostheses). In the latter case, reach targets are typically decoded from neural spiking activity during an instructed delay period before the reach begins. Such systems use targets placed in radially symmetric geometries independent of t...
متن کاملPractical considerations for prostate HDR brachytherapy.
PURPOSE A process for prostate high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy was developed and implemented successfully in the community hospital setting. The practical aspects of the program are reviewed and may serve as a foundation for clinics interested in offering this clinical service. METHODS AND MATERIALS A generic needle distribution geometry was established to accommodate target volumes of var...
متن کاملTreatment failure after primary and salvage therapy for prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND The authors report the likelihood of treatment failure and the outcomes after salvage therapy among men with prostate cancer who initially either received external-beam radiation therapy (EBRT) or underwent radical prostatectomy (RP). METHODS Using a national disease registry, the Cancer of the Prostate Strategic Urological Research Endeavor (CaPSURE) database, 5277 men with prosta...
متن کاملSalvage Therapy for Prostate Cancer
Biochemical recurrence after treatment of prostate cancer occurs in 30–50 % of patients. Confirming that recurrence is localized to the pelvis is challenging as PSA is nonspecific and imaging modalities are imperfect in identifying location of recurrent disease. Salvage therapy after radical prostatectomy is limited to external beam radiotherapy and androgen-deprivation therapy. After radiothe...
