Performance and suitability assessment of a real-time 3D electromagnetic needle tracking system for interstitial brachytherapy.
CONCLUSIONS: The Aurora(®) V1 PFG EMTS possesses a great potential for real-time treatment assistance in general interstitial brachytherapy. In view of our experimental results, we however recommend that the needle axis remains as parallel as possible to the generator surface during treatment and that the tracking zone be restricted to the first 30 cm from the generator surface.

Reduced dose to urethra and rectum with the use of variable needle spacing in prostate brachytherapy: a potential role for robotic technology.
CONCLUSIONS: The variable needle spacing achievable by the use of robotics in prostate brachytherapy allows for reductions in both urethral and rectal planned doses while maintaining prostate dose coverage. Such dosimetric advantages have the potential in translating to significant clinical benefits with the use of robotic brachytherapy.

Safety and efficacy of salvage low-dose-rate brachytherapy for prostate bed recurrences following radical prostatectomy.
CONCLUSIONS: There was a trend to improved biochemical relapse free survival for lower Gleason score and pre-salvage PSA, which may be indicative of the lack of or only low volume metastatic disease. LDR brachytherapy is an effective salvage technique and can be considered in well selected patients allowing for dose escalation to the nodular recurrence.

Testicular shielding in penile brachytherapy.
CONCLUSIONS: With the use of a simple lead shield as described, we were able to effectively reduce testicular dose from "spermicidal" range to "oligospermic" range with possible reversibility.

Comparison of doses to the rectum derived from treatment planning system with in-vivo dose values in vaginal vault brachytherapy using cylinder applicators.
CONCLUSIONS: This study was part of efforts to verify rectal dose obtained from the TPS during vaginal vault brachytherapy. There was no significant difference in the dose to the rectum from the two methods of measurements.

Ruthenium-106 brachytherapy for thick uveal melanoma: reappraisal of apex and base dose radiation and dose rate.
CONCLUSIONS: Thick uveal melanomas are amenable to (106)Ru brachytherapy with less than recommended apex radiation dose and dose rates.

Interstitial high-dose-rate brachytherapy in locally advanced and recurrent vulvar cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: High-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy is a well-tolerated treatment option in selected patients with advanced or recurrent vulvar cancer. It is a safe and effective treatment modality for advanced and recurrent vulvar cancer, yielding good local control with acceptable late treatment related side effects. In our study, patients with recurrent vulvar cancer had better results in HDR-ISBT treatment, probably because of the smaller tumor volume. This hypothesis should be verified in a larger group of patients.

Image-guided high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy - a valuable salvage treatment approach for loco-regional recurrence of papillary thyroid cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: The image-guided HDR interstitial brachytherapy may be a valuable salvage treatment approach for refractory recurrence of PTC.

Dosimetric study for cervix carcinoma treatment using intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) compensation based on 3D intracavitary brachytherapy technique.
CONCLUSIONS: The ICBT + IMRT technique not only provides good target coverage but also maintains low doses (D2cc) to the OAR. ICBT + IMRT is an optional technique to boost parametrial region or tumor of large size and irregular shape when intracavitary/interstitial brachytherapy cannot be used.

Implementation of image-guided brachytherapy (IGBT) for patients with uterine cervix cancer: a tumor volume kinetics approach.
CONCLUSIONS: The most expressive tumor shrinking occurred in the first three weeks of oncological treatment and was in accordance with gynecological examination. These findings may help in IGBT implementation.

Brachytherapy in breast cancer.
Authors: Fijuth J
Abstract
Breast conserving surgery (BCS) with postoperative radiotherapy has been a standard treatment of early stage breast cancer for the last 30 years. Interstitial brachytherapy has been used as a boost therapy after whole breast external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), and recently, it's been investigated in selected patients as a possible technique of a single radiotherapy modality (partial breast irradiation, PBI) after tumorectomy. Further clinical studies are required to define the most appropriate candidates for breast brachytherapy as a sole modality treatment and to determine the best delive...

Brachytherapy in Greater Poland Cancer Centre and in Poznan - the past and the presence.
Authors: Skowronek J
Abstract
The aim of this article is to describe the history of brachytherapy in Poznań from the beginning of 20(th) century. Among the most important medical and oncological institutions that were created in Poznań at the beginning of twentieth century were: Surgical Clinic of Poznań University (City Hospital, Poznań), Transfiguration of the Lord Hospital (Poznań) and Radiology Faculty of Poznań University (Poznań). After the World War II in 1953 at Garbary Street hospital three new departments were established: Surgery, Gynecology and General Departments. At that time, radium treatment ...
