The preface acknowledges the necessity for a team approach to brachytherapy, modelling the multidisciplinary approach in teletherapy.
Overall this book provides an extensive coverage of the key principles and applications of afterloaded brachytherapy in the current context of health care delivery.
This review paper describes the current status of the treatment of prostate cancer by brachytherapy, references current published results and examines radiation protection issues.
The first brachytherapy technique developed required intra-operative placement of 15-20 catheters by the radiation oncologist in a highly specialized procedure.
Optimising of prostate cancer radiotherapy using high dose brachytherapy: a radiobiological analysis.
Management of localised carcinoma of the prostate: brachytherapy revisited.
These pins were inserted with an 18 gauge brachytherapy needle under ultrasound guidance, and no complications ensued.
This is a topical area to explore, as brachytherapy has increasingly become a viable treatment option for managing localised prostate cancer.
The available treatment options for men diagnosed with early prostate cancers are as follows: active monitoring; surgery; hormone therapy and radiotherapy including brachytherapy.
Reduction of pulmonary migration of permanent interstitial sources in patients undergoing prostate brachytherapy.
High dose rate afterloading for brachytherapy for prostate cancer.
There were very few studies available on local treatments with only plaque radiotherapy or brachytherapy and photocoagulation being assessed as individual treatments.
The company therefore developed a novel and elegantly simple brachytherapy device which could be easily implanted by either a radiation oncologist or a surgeon.
A high dose-rate brachytherapy source is inserted into this cavity, evenly irradiating the tissue at highest risk of containing residual cancer cells.
This is largely due to the costs associated with high doserate brachytherapy delivery.
