OBJECTIVE Capsular contracture is a common complication associated with reconstructive breast surgery. The optimal time interval between the completion of tissue expansion and placement of the permanent implant is arbitrary and incompletely studied in the literature. The aim of the study was to determine whether the time interval between completion of expansion and placement of the permanent im...
PURPOSE The present study compared the difference between intraoperative transrectal ultrasound (iTRUS)-based prostate volume and preplan computed tomography (CT), preplan magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based prostate volume to estimate the number of seeds needed for appropriate dose coverage in permanent brachytherapy for prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between March 2007 and March ...
Electromagnetic tracking (EMT) is used in several medical fields to determine the position and orientation of dedicated sensors, e.g., attached to surgical tools. Recently, EMT has been introduced to brachytherapy for implant reconstruction and error detection. The manuscript briefly summarizes the main issues of EMT and error detection in brachytherapy. The potential and complementarity of EMT...
PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility of robotic salvage prostatectomy for local recurrence after permanent brachytherapy implants for prostate cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seven patients were operated by robotic salvage prostatectomy with or without pelvic lymph node dissection between October 2007 and March 2012, for a local recurrence after iodine 125 permanent brachytherapy implants. Local ...
Radiation therapy (RTx) has been employed as a curative therapy for prostatic adenocarcinoma. RTx-induced sarcomas (RISs) are rare, late adverse events, representing less than 0.2% of all irradiated patients. RISs are more aggressive tumors than prostatic adenocarcinomas. Herein, we present a case with RTx-induced prostatic leiomyosarcoma after permanent brachytherapy for prostatic adenocarcino...
This article is addressing the role of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in prostate brachytherapy. No randomized trials to date evaluating the efficacy of hormonal therapy combined with brachytherapy. Many retrospective trials assessed the role of neoadjuvant androgen deprivation and interstitial permanent prostate brachytherapy in an effort to shrink the prostate gland and to facilitate the ...
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in the dosimetric advantage of using intraoperatively built custom-linked (IBCL) seeds between permanent iodine-125 (I-125) seed implantation (PI) alone and PI followed by external-beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for prostate cancer. METHODS We reviewed the records of 62 patients with localized prostate cancer who received ...
Abstract INTRODUCTION Many patients with brain tumors face challenges access to care. For rural patients, prolonged travel times may limit appropriate radiotherapy. Radiation centers (RCs) offering specialized radiotherapy, e.g., stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), are geographically limited. Brain brachytherapy at the time of resection offers an option for such but technical have limited adoption...
BACKGROUND Bulky endobronchial tumours in patients with lung cancer are difficult to treat. Brachytherapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are variably effective, and the combination of these treatments is not often recommended. However, cell culture studies and animal studies indicate a possible synergistic effect of combining PDT with ionising radiation. We assessed the safety and effectiveness...
