In one case, radioactive seeds intended for a man's cancerous prostate were instead implanted in the base of his penis. Another patient with stomach cancer was treated for prostate cancer. Fifty patients received radiation intended for someone else, including one brain cancer patient who received...
Although it has been thought that HDR brachytherapy could be used for treating prostate cancer, until now there has been limited evidence of its safety and efficacy. In this study, 45 consecutive patients received HDR brachytherapy at the Hospital de Cruces between January 2014 and July 2016. The...
There are several different methods used to introduce radiation into the body. For breast cancer, the most common type used is external beam radiation. In this form of radiation therapy, the doctor aims a large machine, called a linear particle accelerator, that releases a beam of high-energy ...
How the implant is put near the cancer depends on the size and location of the cancer. Internal radiation therapy is used for some cancers of the head, neck, thyroid, breast, female reproductive system, and prostate. Most people will have the radioactive capsule implanted by a surgeon while...
What it's used forRadiation therapy is used to treat many types of cancer, including cancer of the lung, breast, prostate, testicles, and brain.When a tumor is going to be removed surgically, radiation can shrink it. This reduces the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed near...
The radiation is inserted in an implant, which could be in the form of seeds, balloons, tubes, capsules, ribbons, wires, pellets, or needles. The amount of time the implants are in place varies by the patient and the type of cancer. There are some that are left in place for only a...
Metformin can be used in conjunction with radiation therapy, chemotherapy (and rituximab) as a sensitizing agent to augment their effects. Metformin may be considered an adjuvant drug for breast cancer patients and other cancers as well. === Niclosamide p 248 In 2019...

In the PI group, the number of implanted seeds was associated with the seed migration incidence. Neither the PI nor the PI + EBRT group showed any difference in the volume of the prostate receiving 100 % of the prescribed dose (V100 [%]) or the minimal dose received by 90 % of ...
