Template guided transperineal saturation biopsy of the prostate: lessons for focal and urethra-sparing high-dose-rate brachytherapy for localized prostate cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: In low risk patients with PCa results of template guided saturation biopsy indicates high frequency (75%) of multifocal disease and high probability (67.5%) of periurethral invasion. Suitable candidates for focal HDR brachytherapy or irradiation with additional sparing of urethra can be effectively determined with the help of saturation biopsy. PMID: 27257414 [PubMed]

Focal partial salvage low-dose-rate brachytherapy for local recurrent prostate cancer after permanent prostate brachytherapy with a review of the literature.
CONCLUSIONS: The partial salvage low-dose-rate brachytherapy used to treat local recurrence after permanent prostate brachytherapy is well-tolerated, with high biochemical response rates. This treatment can be not only a method to delay chemical castration but also a curative treatment option in cases of local recurrence of prostate carcinoma after seed implantation.

Utilization of prostate brachytherapy for low risk prostate cancer: Is the decline overstated?
CONCLUSIONS: In this hospital-based registry, prostate brachytherapy usage has declined for low risk prostate cancer as intensity modulated radiation therapy usage has increased. However, it still remains the treatment of choice for 51.3% of patients as of 2012. PMID: 27648081 [PubMed]

HDR brachytherapy as a solution in recurrences of locally advanced prostate cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: Salvage prostate brachytherapy (SBR) can be safely performed with acceptable biochemical control and toxicity. PMID: 27795720 [PubMed - in process]

Combined therapy: surgery and intraoperative HDR brachytherapy for locally advanced and recurrent rectal cancer. Practical experience of Brachytherapy Department in Warsaw.
CONCLUSIONS: A multimodality approach, using surgical resection with intra operative brachytherapy improves local control as well as patients survival in comparison with historical treatment group. Combined therapy is related to high morbidity, but low mortality. The preliminary observations seem to correspond with other authors data. PMID: 27799949 [PubMed - in process]

High-dose-rate and pulsed-dose-rate brachytherapy for oral cavity cancer and oropharynx cancer.
Authors: Polo A Abstract Interstitial brachytherapy represents the treatment of choice for small tumours, regionally localized in the oral cavity and the oropharynx. In the technical setting, continuous low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy represented for many years the gold standard for administering radiation in head and neck brachytherapy. Large series of head and neck cancer patients treated with LDR brachytherapy have been reported, constituting an invaluable source of clinical data and the gold standard to compare results of new techniques. Nowadays, LDR brachytherapy competes with fractionated HDR and hyperfrac...

How one institution overcame the challenges to start an MRI-based brachytherapy program for cervical cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: Previous publications have supported a transition to MRI-based brachytherapy, and this can be safely and efficiently accomplished as described in this manuscript. PMID: 28533808 [PubMed - in process]

Malignant soft tissue sarcoma of the shoulder treated by surface mould brachytherapy boost in an adjuvant setting.
CONCLUSIONS: Surface mould brachytherapy in soft tissue sarcomas could be a useful alternative to interstitial brachytherapy, especially where the target volume is superficially extensive with underlying critical structures, and where catheter placement may be difficult, such as the shoulder.

Electronic brachytherapy management of atypical fibroxanthoma: report of 8 lesions.
CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature on the use of radiation therapy as curative primary treatment for AFX. No contraindication to the use of radiations is found in the literature, with surgery being the sole treatment for AFX noted. Our recurrence rate is 0% for debulked lesions. Risk of recurrence is mitigated with surgical debulking prior to brachytherapy. Electronic brachytherapy appears to be a safe and effective treatment for debulked AFX. Multiple excisions, skin grafting, and wound care can be avoided in elderly patients by the use of electronic brachytherapy. PMID: 28533805...

The use of trans-applicator intracavitary ultrasonography in brachytherapy for cervical cancer: phantom study of a novel approach to 3D image-guided brachytherapy.
CONCLUSIONS: Three-dimensional reconstructed trans-applicator intracavitary ultrasonographic images clearly depicted meat tissue within the phantom, and could thus be used for brachytherapy planning. This study proves the concept of trans-applicator intracavitary ultrasonography for intracavitary brachytherapy. Further research such as development of intracavitary ultrasonography system, 3D reconstruction method, ultrasonography-compatible applicators, and ultrasonography-based target concept is warranted to assess the potential clinical application.

Use of ultrasound in image-guided high-dose-rate brachytherapy: enumerations and arguments.
Authors: Banerjee S, Kataria T, Gupta D, Goyal S, Bisht SS, Basu T, Abhishek A Abstract Inherently, brachytherapy is the most conformal radiotherapeutic technique. As an aid to brachytherapy, ultrasonography (USG) serves as a portable, inexpensive, and simple to use method allowing for accurate, reproducible, and adaptive treatments. Some newer brachytherapy planning systems have incorporated USG as the sole imaging modality. Ultrasonography has been successfully used to place applicator and dose planning for prostate, cervix, and anal canal cancers. It can guide placement of brachytherapy catheters for all other s...

Novel anesthetic technique for combined intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy for cervix cancer in an outpatient setting.
CONCLUSIONS: Outpatient combined intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy for cervix cancer with sedation and local anesthesia is feasible and safe. This could potentially lead to significant cost savings. PMID: 28725247 [PubMed]

Outcomes of salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy with or without external beam radiotherapy for isolated vaginal recurrence of endometrial cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: Salvage HDR brachytherapy is an optimal for treating vaginal recurrence of endometrial carcinoma with acceptable morbidity. Early radiotherapy, including brachytherapy, should be considered for women who experience vaginal recurrence of endometrial cancer. PMID: 28725243 [PubMed]

Oncological outcome, complications, lower urinary tract symptoms, and health-related quality of life after low-dose-rate salvage brachytherapy for recurrent prostate cancer following primary radiotherapy: a report of 8 cases.
CONCLUSIONS: The present study is our experiment of eight patients undergoing salvage brachytherapy, suggesting that this modality is noninvasive, safe, and an effective salvage local treatment in selected patients. To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate lower urinary tract symptoms and health-related quality of life in the post-treatment period in prostate cancer patients. PMID: 28951757 [PubMed]

Assessing dose contribution to pelvic lymph nodes in intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates that pelvic lymph nodes receive substantial dose contributions from HDR brachytherapy in cervical cancer. This should be taken into account by the radiation oncologist during EBRT planning, and adequate external beam boost doses calculated to achieve cumulative tumoricidal doses to pelvic nodal disease.
