A case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the scalp treated with surface mould brachytherapy
J Contemp Brachytherapy. 2023 Jun;15(3):224-228. doi: 10.5114/jcb.2023.127807. Epub 2023 May 31.ABSTRACTDermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a locally aggressive soft tissue tumor with a high propensity of local recurrence after surgery. Radiotherapy as an adjuvant therapy has been shown to reduce recurrent rates of this disease. Surface mould brachytherapy is an effective and safe modality for the delivery of radiotherapy in soft tissue tumors, though its utilization and popularity have decreased in recent years. Here, we presented a case of a recurrent DFSP of the scalp who was treated with surgery followed by adjuv...

Three-dimensional template combined with MR-guided iodine-125 brachytherapy for recurrent brain metastases
CONCLUSIONS: A three-dimensional template combined with MR-guided 125I brachytherapy in the treatment of recurrent brain metastases is feasible, safe, and effective. This novel 125I brachytherapy strategy is an attractive alternative in the treatment of brain metastases.PMID:37425207 | PMC:PMC10324592 | DOI:10.5114/jcb.2023.129055

Initial tumor volume as an important predictor for indication of intra-cavitary brachytherapy, intra-cavitary/interstitial brachytherapy, and multi-catheter sole interstitial brachytherapy in cervical cancer patients treated with chemoradiotherapy
CONCLUSIONS: Initial tumor volume is an important predictor for indication of ICBT and ICIS-BT. ISBT or at least an interstitial technique is recommended for initial GTV > 150 cm3.PMID:37425205 | PMC:PMC10324585 | DOI:10.5114/jcb.2023.128895

Ophthalmic applicator displacement as a method of treating large diffuse uveal melanomas
CONCLUSIONS: Brachytherapy with ocular applicator displacement allows for the treatment of tumors with base measurements larger than 18 mm. The application of this method may be considered as an alternative for eye enucleation in particular cases of large diffuse tumors, such as a neoplasm of the eye with vison, or when a patient does not consent to enucleation.PMID:37425204 | PMC:PMC10324590 | DOI:10.5114/jcb.2023.128920

Interstitial brachytherapy for internal mammary node in breast cancer: A case report
J Contemp Brachytherapy. 2023 Jun;15(3):229-233. doi: 10.5114/jcb.2023.129016. Epub 2023 Jun 27.ABSTRACTThis case study reports the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of interstitial brachytherapy for internal mammary nodal recurrence in a 68-year-old woman with triple-negative breast cancer. The patient had previously undergone mastectomy followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, an internal mammary node was discovered during a routine follow-up a year later, which was confirmed as metastatic carcinoma by fine needle aspiration, with no other metastatic lesions. The patient underwent interstitial brachytherapy un...

Changes in receipt of adjuvant brachytherapy for endometrial cancer patients before and after affordable care act: The impact of Medicaid expansion
CONCLUSIONS: Medicaid expansion is likely not the most significant factor affecting access or receipt of adjuvant RT for HIR endometrial cancer patients. Further study could help inform policy and efforts to ensure all patients have access to guideline-recommended RT.PMID:37425201 | PMC:PMC10324593 | DOI:10.5114/jcb.2023.127838

Multilayer intensity modulated contact interventional radiotherapy (brachytherapy): Stretching the therapeutic window in skin cancer
J Contemp Brachytherapy. 2023 Jun;15(3):220-223. doi: 10.5114/jcb.2023.127837. Epub 2023 Jun 1.ABSTRACTInterventional radiotherapy (IRT, brachytherapy) is a highly effective treatment method for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Traditionally, the maximum depth of NMSC lesions considered eligible for contact IRT was 5 mm; however, following several national surveys and recent recommendations, such cut-off, lesions thicker than 5 mm may be treated by contact IRT. The use of image guidance in defining the actual depth in treating NMSC to correctly identify clinical target volume (CTV) and prevent unnecessary toxicity is of pa...

Comparative analysis of dosimetric and radiobiological models of IPSA and HIPO algorithms in combined intra-cavitary/interstitial brachytherapy for cervical cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Although the dosimetric parameters of IPSA, HIPO1, and HIPO2 are comparable, HIPO2 provides better dose conformability and lower NTCP. Therefore, HIPO2 is recommended as an optimization algorithm in IC/ISBT for cervical cancer.PMID:37425198 | PMC:PMC10324594 | DOI:10.5114/jcb.2023.128894
