The role of interstitial brachytherapy in the management of primary radiation therapy for uterine cervical cancer
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to report the clinical results of uterine cervical cancer patients treated by primary radiation therapy including brachytherapy, and investigate the role of interstitial brachytherapy (ISBT). MATERIAL AND METHODS All consecutive uterine cervical cancer patients who were treated by primary radiation therapy were reviewed, and those who were treated by ISBT wer...
متن کاملLong-term results of low-dose-rate interstitial-intracavitary brachytherapy in the treatment of carcinoma of the cervix.
PURPOSE Brachytherapy plays a major role in the treatment of patients with carcinoma of the cervix. However, routine intracavitary brachytherapy may not be feasible or adequate to treat locally advanced disease. The purpose of this retrospective study (spanning a 20-year period) was to determine the outcome of interstitial low-dose-rate brachytherapy in the treatment of bulky or locally advance...
متن کاملComputed Tomography–Guided Interstitial Brachytherapy for Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer
OBJECTIVE We present a new technique of 3-dimensional computed tomography-guided interstitial (IS) brachytherapy (BT) for locally advanced cervical cancer, offering a more advantageous clinical treatment approach. MATERIALS/METHODS Interstitial BT was performed using an applicator combining uterine tandem and metal needles; needles were inserted freehand under real-time 3-dimensional computed...
متن کاملConcomitant cervical and transperineal parametrial high-dose-rate brachytherapy boost for locally advanced cervical cancer.
PURPOSE There is no consensus for parametrial boost technic while both transvaginal and transperineal approaches are discussed. A prototype was developed consisting of a perineal template, allowing transperineal needle insertion. This study analyzed acute toxicity of concomitant cervical and transperineal parametrial high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDRB) boost for locally advanced cervical cancer...
متن کاملPotential role of ultrasound imaging in interstitial image based cervical cancer brachytherapy
In 2012, more than 500,000 cases of cervical cancer were diagnosed worldwide. Over three quarters of these cases occur in less developed countries [1]. Advancements in image-guided brachytherapy are resulting in improved outcomes and reduced morbidity for women with this disease, but its worldwide adoption is hampered by lack of accessibility to advanced imaging techniques. Ultrasound is emergi...
