Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death after lung cancer. The use of radioactive seeds (i.e., brachytherapy) to provide radiation therapy is one of the three recommended treatment options for localized carcinoma of the prostate. This technique places the radioactive source ...
plastic surgeons, heart surgery, prostate cancer, radioactive seeds. Even the finesse of the doctors that don't actually do seed placement, but calculate the dosing of the radiation. There's…there's an art to it. Some people just instinctively know what to do and have few complications...
A doctor or clinician implants radioactive (iodine-125 or palladium-103) seeds into the prostate gland using anultrasoundfor guidance. The number of seeds and where they are placed is determined by a computer-generated treatment plan tailored for each patient. Anywhere from 40 to 100 seeds are ...
Solitary Rectal Ulcer with Anal "Seeds" Discharge after Transperineal Interstitial Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer: A case report with review of the literature Brachytherapy was employed as curative treatment modality for localized prostate cancer early in the 20 th century. Transperineal implantation of...
Reports on the use of radioactive seeds in treating prostate cancer called brachytherapy. First use of the procedure in 1911; Development of the procedure in the 1970s; Radioisotopes used as seeds; Theory behind the procedure; Studies on the topic; Best candidates for radiation implants; Protocol...
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the leading causes of death among men. Low-dose brachytherapy is an increasingly used treatment for PCa, which requires the implantation of tens of radioactive seeds. This treatment causes discomfort; these implants cannot be removed, and they generate image ...
Objective The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical efficacy of CT-guided radioactive iodine-125 (I-125) seeds implantation treatment in patien... LC Beattie,LC Beattie 被引量: 5发表: 1995年 加载更多来源期刊 The Prostate 研究点推荐 radical prostatectomy Localized cancer of the p...
An instrument for implanting radioactive and/or thermal seeds in body tissue for radiation and/or heat therapy comprises a tubular hypodermic needle barrel affixed to a pistol-grip shaped handle incorporates a reciprocally movable push r... MA Rydell - EP 被引量: 105发表: 1999年 CT guided rad...
(125)I seeds were computed by Treatment Planning System(TPS).The clinical effects were evaluated by CT.Results The follow-up time was 6-24 months(mean 14.6 months).Among 276 lesions in 30 cases,163 nodes was CR,36 PR,17 NC and 0 PD.The response rate was 92.1%.Conclusion CT guided ...
Prostate cancer implants can be permanent or temporary. The permanent implant is most commonly performed with either 125I or 103Pd radioactive seeds and temporary implants utilize 192Ir sources. Intracavitary and intraluminal: With the intracavitary technique, hollow stainless steel applicators hold the...
