Between July 1999 and April 2003, 113 men with localized prostate cancer were treated by permanent implantation of (103)Pd seeds, of whom 78 with a follow-up of 30 months were included in this study. No patient received supplemental external beam radiation therapy. At baseline and 3-month in...
The invention relates to new radioactive palladium-103 miniature radiation sources (seeds) wherein the carrier matrix consists of a porous and mechanically stable inorganic material, the pores of which contain Pd-103 as metal or in the form of a stable and water-insoluble Pd-103 compound. The...
This paper presents a feasibility study of the advantages of palladium-103 seeds, encapsulated with a biocompatible polymer, for future clinical applications, and on the effect of the gold marker on the dosimetric characteristics of such seeds. Experimental palladium seeds, OptiSeedexp, were ...

Low-dose-rate brachytherapyRectal spacerPURPOSE: Rates of rectal toxicity after low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy for prostate cancer are dependent on rectal dose, which is associated with rectal distance from prostate and implanted seeds. Placement of a hydrogel spacer between the prostate and ...
Using of 1.1mCi with maximum of 15 seeds, 1.3 mCi with maximum of 13 seeds, 1.5 mCi with maximum of 12 seeds and 1.7 mCi with maximum of 10 seeds in Brachytherapy is recommended for the first stage of a Prostate cancer disease due to optimal dose for cancer is able to be achieved, ...
In 1930, Moore first used brachytherapy to preserve vision for a monocular patient with uveal melanoma (Finger 1997a). He implanted radon seeds directly into the uveal melanoma. Stallard tried this technique, but went on to develop cobalt-60 (60Co) plaque radiotherapy (Finger 1997a). Since ...
