Interstitial brachytherapy for orbital soft tissue sarcoma: an innovative technique.
Conclusions: Interstitial brachytherapy for orbit using this innovative technique is a safe and effective modality of local treatment for appropriately selected orbital soft tissue tumors. Brachytherapy resulted in excellent disease control with significant reduction of dose to surrounding ocular structures compared to EBRT. PMID: 29204167 [PubMed]

Does supplemental external beam radiation therapy impact urinary, bowel, and erectile function following permanent prostate brachytherapy?: results of two prospective randomized trials.
Conclusions: Supplemental EBRT did not significantly effect catheter dependency, IPSS resolution, urethral stricture rate, the need for post-implant TURP, bowel, or erectile function. Careful attention to brachytherapy dose distributions appears to be most important in minimizing post-brachytherapy morbidity. PMID: 29204160 [PubMed]

Current status of brachytherapy in cancer treatment - short overview.
Authors: Skowronek J Abstract Cancer incidence and mortality depend on a number of factors, including age, socio-economic status and geographical location, and its prevalence is growing around the world. Most of cancer treatments include external beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy. Brachytherapy, a type of radiotherapy with energy from radionuclides inserted directly into the tumor, is increasingly used in cancer treatment. For cervical and skin cancers, it has become a standard therapy for more than 100 years as well as an important part of the treatment guidelines for other malignancies, including head and neck, ...

Artificial neural network based gynaecological image-guided adaptive brachytherapy treatment planning correction of intra-fractional organs at risk dose variation.
Conclusions: There are semi-automatic and fast responding models that can be used in the routine clinical workflow to reduce individually IGABT uncertainties. These models can be more validated by more patients' plans to be able to serve as a clinical tool. PMID: 29441094 [PubMed]

Long-term outcome of high-dose-rate brachytherapy and perioperative brachytherapy in early mobile tongue cancer.
Conclusions: HDR-BT alone gives acceptable loco-regional control in T1 tumors. T2 stage tumors should not be treated by brachytherapy alone in view of high failure rates in nodal regions and should undergo either neck dissection or nodal irradiation. Perioperative brachytherapy is investigational and can be considered in patients who are at high-risk for local recurrence in patients undergoing surgery alone. PMID: 29619058 [PubMed]

Image-guided high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy technique for locally recurrent rectal cancer in perineum.
Conclusions: Image-guided HDR interstitial brachytherapy in selected patient with LRRC in perineum is a proven, effective, and safe treatment method with relatively long-term outcome. PMID: 30038648 [PubMed]

UK & Ireland Prostate Brachytherapy Practice Survey 2014-2016.
Conclusion: There is considerable prostate brachytherapy experience in the UK and Ireland. An apparent fall in LDR case numbers is noted. Maintenance of case numbers and ongoing compliance with published quality guidelines is important to sustain high quality outcomes. PMID: 30038644 [PubMed]

Five-year effectiveness of low-dose-rate brachytherapy: comparisons with nomogram predictions in patients with non-metastatic prostate cancer presenting significant control of intra- and periprostatic disease.
Conclusions: The results indicate high effectiveness of LDR brachytherapy in all risk groups, significantly better than predicted with the Kattan nomogram in most subgroups. The significant superiority of LDR brachytherapy compared to nomogram predictions of organ-confined disease suggests that LDR brachytherapy effectively controls both intra- and periprostatic disease.

High-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy in recurrent head and neck cancer: an effective salvage option.
Conclusions: Results of HDR interstitial brachytherapy have shown acceptable local control and overall survival rates along with tolerable toxicities and morbidity in recurrent head and neck cancers. PMID: 30479619 [PubMed]

A novel approach for salvage treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer: percutaneous CT fluoroscopy-guided permanent seed brachytherapy for salvage treatment of lung cancer: long-term results of a case series.
Conclusions: Percutaneous CT fluoroscopy-guided permanent seed brachytherapy is a safe, efficacious, and cost effective primary and salvage treatment for lung cancer. CT-fluoroscopy resources are readily available in the community and are an effective alternative to stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)/proton beam, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and cryoablation (CA). Percutaneous CT fluoroscopy-guided permanent seed brachytherapy has an equivalent or better local control rate, a lower resource cost, and a far lower integral radiation dose than other therapies. We believe...

Indian Brachytherapy Society Guidelines for radiotherapeutic management of cervical cancer with special emphasis on high-dose-rate brachytherapy.
Authors: Mahantshetty U, Gudi S, Singh R, Sasidharan A, Sastri SC, Gurram L, Sharma D, Ganeshrajah S, Mg J, Badakh D, Basu A, James F, Swamidas JV, Kuppuswamy T, Bhalavat R Abstract Brachytherapy (BT) for locally advanced cervical cancer is vital for optimal outcomes. There is heterogeneity in brachytherapy treatment practice for cervical cancer across India. In an attempt to standardize various processes involved in cervical cancer brachytherapy, the expert members of the Indian Brachytherapy Society (IBS) developed a document related to radiation therapy treatment of cervical cancer with special emphasis on brach...

Patterns of cervical cancer brachytherapy in India: results of an online survey supported by the Indian Brachytherapy Society.
Conclusions: Our survey suggested a fairly uniform treatment paradigm for cervical cancer brachytherapy, with a progressive shift from 2D to 3D image-based parameters for planning, with persistence of point A based prescription. Further efforts are needed to augment and ease this transition. PMID: 31969910 [PubMed]

Eye plaque brachytherapy versus enucleation for ocular melanoma: an analysis from the National Cancer Database.
Conclusions: Patients selected for brachytherapy had improved survival compared to enucleation in all size cohorts. EOE and CBI are significantly higher in the enucleation cohort and are important negative prognosticators for survival selected against patients having brachytherapy. Brachytherapy is a reasonable treatment option for certain patients with large size tumors. PMID: 33293968 [PubMed]

Brachytherapy in head and neck malignancies: Indian Brachytherapy Society (IBS) recommendations and guidelines.
Conclusions: IBS provided a consensus statement and guidelines for the head and neck brachytherapy and believed that these recommendations will overcome the fear of practicing radiation oncologists. This should generate interest amongst students and will help radiation oncologists all across the country to use the art of brachytherapy carefully in HNC patients, with better curative and salvage options.
