Recent technological advances have brought several innovations in current brachytherapy procedures, such as radioactive sources and computer-guided three-dimensional planning computer programs, based on magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound and CT, which enables the planning and implementation of more effective treatments. In this sense, planning systems for cancer treatment using radiat…
Brachytherapy is radiotherapy modality, which insert radioactive sources into patient cavities or surgically to treat lung, cervix, prostate and several others types of cancer. One of its main advantages is the capability to deliver high dose to the tumor while preserving adjacent tissues with results equivalents, or even better, than teletherapy. Modern brachytherapy with 3D treatment pl…
In view the good clinical results obtained and the technological advancement, several innovations have been incorporated to brachytherapy treatment technique, for example, 3D planning systems and computer-guided sources. In detriment to scientific advances there are no protocols that relate dose with tumor volume, organs or the A point, established by ICRU38 and used to prescribe dose in …
