Investigation of the gold nanoparticles effects on the prostate dose distribution in brachytherapy: gel dosimetry and Monte Carlo method.
CONCLUSIONS: The real three-dimensional analysis shows the comparison of the dose-volume histograms measured for planning volumes and the expected one from the MC calculation. The results indicate that the polymer gel dosimetry method, which developed and used in this study, could be recommended as a reliable method for investigating the dose enhancement factor of GNPs in brachytherapy.

The role of interstitial brachytherapy in the management of primary radiation therapy for uterine cervical cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: Feasibility and favorable local control of interstitial brachytherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer was demonstrated through a single institutional experience with a small number of patients.

Prostate brachytherapy in Ghana: our initial experience.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results compare favorably with those reported by other institutions with more extensive experience. We believe therefore that, interstitial permanent brachytherapy can be safely and effectively performed in a resource challenged environment if adequate training and proctoring is provided.

A study on the variation of bladder and rectal doses with respiration in intracavitary brachytherapy for cervix cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that respiration affects the dose distribution to the bladder and rectum in intracavitary brachytherapy of cervix cancer. It is advisable to reduce the critical organ dose to account for the dose variation introduced by respiratory motion.

Low dose rate brachytherapy using a tandem for cervical cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: These preliminary results suggest that there is no significant difference between the treatment with brachytherapy using a tandem and ovoids or a tandem alone.

Improving the efficiency of image guided brachytherapy in cervical cancer.
This article explores the ways, in which 3D conformal brachytherapy can be implemented and draws findings from recent literature and a well-developed hospital practice in order to suggest ways to improve the efficiency and efficacy of a brachytherapy service. Finally, we discuss relatively underexploited translational research opportunities.

Image-guided high-dose-rate brachytherapy of head and neck - a case series study.
CONCLUSIONS: Computed tomography-image guided brachytherapy proved to be a safe method of treatment in patients with local relapse in sites, in which traditional visually controlled application was impossible due to risk of complications. Despite short observation period and small study group, it seems justified to conduct prospective studies for the evaluation of efficacy and safety of CT-image guided brachytherapy.

Model assessment of individual tumor control rate and adverse effects in comparing locally advanced cervical cancer treatment using intracavitary with and without interstitial brachytherapy.
CONCLUSIONS: The IC/IS technique improved dose coverage to the HR-CTV without significantly increasing dose to 2 cm(3) of the organ at risk (OAR) surrounding it. With different regimens of EBRT combined with BT, IC/IS can be used to increase the probability of LC and CSS, or decrease the risk of AE.

High-dose-rate intraluminal brachytherapy prior to external radiochemotherapy in locally advanced esophageal cancer: preliminary results.
CONCLUSIONS: Brachytherapy before EBRT was a safe and effective procedure to induce rapid and durable relief from dysphagia, especially when combined with EBRT.

Individualized 3D scanning and printing for non-melanoma skin cancer brachytherapy: a financial study for its integration into clinical workflow.
CONCLUSIONS: As the present project demonstrates, through the application of 3D printing technologies, the costs and time spent during the process in the clinical workload in brachytherapy treatment are reduced. Overall, 3D printing is a promising technique for brachytherapy that might be well received in the community.

Custom-made micro applicators for high-dose-rate brachytherapy treatment of chronic psoriasis.
CONCLUSIONS: The first HDR brachytherapy treatment of psoriasis of the nail bed is presented. The initial experience revealed that brachytherapy treatment was well-tolerated and resulted in adequate control of the disease. A larger cohort of patients will be required for additional conclusions related to the long-term clinical benefits.

Clinical outcomes with high-dose-rate surface mould brachytherapy for intra-oral and skin malignancies involving head and neck region.
CONCLUSIONS: Surface mould brachytherapy results in excellent LC rates for skin tumours and T1 intraoral tumours when considered as radical treatment, and preferable to consider it as a boost for T2 intraoral tumours. Surface mould brachytherapy results in excellent organ and function preservation.

Treatment plan dosimetric impact after catheter stretch during multi-catheter interstitial breast brachytherapy.
Conclusions: Nylon 6/6 catheters stretch during a course of multi-catheter interstitial breast brachytherapy treatment. The observed stretch may affect treatment plan dosimetry, if the catheter internal length is only measured immediately after the insertion. Additional catheter length checks are recommended to verify the actual catheter internal length during the treatment.

Dosimetric analysis of rib interference of the CTV during interstitial brachytherapy of lung tumors.
Conclusions: The regular geometric alignment of needles is important for increasing the target dose and limiting the normal lung dose in interstitial brachytherapy for thoracic tumors. Thus, we recommend that radiation oncologists attempt to achieve the regular alignment of needles during implantation.

High-dose-rate brachytherapy in the treatment of skin Kaposi sarcoma.
Conclusions: HDR brachytherapy could be a good option of treatment for these types of lesions, especially in elderly patients, or when cosmetic results are not good after surgery. Brachytherapy with the Valencia applicator, using hypofractionated regimen provides excellent results in terms of cosmetic and local control, and furthermore, facilitates treatment compliance, which is very relevant in elderly patients. HDR brachytherapy offers a simple, safe, quick, and attractive non-surgical treatment option.
