Vaginal tolerance of CT based image-guided high-dose rate interstitial brachytherapy for gynecological malignancies
BACKGROUND Purpose of this study was to identify predictors of vaginal ulcer after CT based three-dimensional image-guided high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDR-ISBT) for gynecologic malignancies. METHODS Records were reviewed for 44 female (14 with primary disease and 30 with recurrence) with gynecological malignancies treated with HDR-ISBT with or without external beam radiation th...
متن کاملHigh-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for gynecologic malignancies.
PURPOSE The study aimed to assess the outcome of locally advanced cervical and vaginal cancer treated with high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDRB). METHODS AND MATERIALS Between 1998 and 2004, 16 previously unirradiated patients with locally advanced cervical and vaginal cancer not suitable for intracavitary brachytherapy because of distorted anatomy or extensive vaginal disease were...

(2013) 5(4), 383–388 Over the past two decades, several methods for minimally invasive tumor ablation have been developed and tested clinically. CT-guided high dose rate brachytherapy is an alternative radioablative technique that was introduced in clinical practice as a minimally treatment option almost 20 years ago w...
متن کاملImage-guided high-dose-rate brachytherapy of malignancies in various inner organs – technique, indications, and perspectives
In the last few years, minimally invasive tumor ablation performed by interventional radiologists has gained increasing relevance in oncologic patient care. Limitations of thermal ablation techniques such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), and laser-induced thermotherapy (LITT), including large tumor size, cooling effects of adjacent vessels, and tumor location near the...
متن کاملThe dosimetric impact of vaginal balloon-packing on intracavitary high-dose-rate brachytherapy for gynecological cancer
PURPOSE We perform a clinical retrospective study to determine whether a vaginal balloon-packing system provides a dosimetric reduction to organs at risk (OARs) versus traditional gauze packing for gynecological high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT). We also test various balloon filling materials for optimizing imaging quality. MATERIAL AND METHODS Filling materials for balloon-packing were e...
