PURPOSE Definitive chemoradiation (CR) has replaced radical surgery as the preferred treatment of epidermoid carcinoma anal canal. To determine importance mitomycin (MMC) in standard CR regimen and to assess role salvage patients who have residual tumor following CR, a phase III randomized trial was undertaken by Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG)/Eastern Cooperative (ECOG). PATIENTS AND METHODS Between August 1988 December 1991, 310 were receive either radiotherapy (RT) fluorouracil...
High-dose-rate electronic brachytherapy (EBT) provides a non-surgical treatment option for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). This matched-pair cohort study compared the outcomes of with EBT to those Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) in patients NMSC.At four centers, treated were case matched MMS based on retrospectively-collected patient age, lesion size, location and type, year treatment. Follow-up data prospectively collected included local recurrence, toxicities, cosmesis, patient-reported...
We sought a curative technique to treat recurrent or primary non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with minimally invasive outpatient that could be repeated multiple times, had minimal pulmonary toxicity, and was readily available in the community setting. Percutaneous computed tomography (CT) fluoroscopy-guided permanent seed brachytherapy fits these criteria.Eight lesions five patients (three two each) NSCLC were treated using percutaneous CT palladium-103 brachytherapy. At initial...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignancy that difficult to treat and often metastasizes the lung. Systemic chemotherapies are not effective for this tumor type, thus local therapies frequently used. Here, we report case demonstrating use of extensive ablative interventions in controlling progression metastatic adenoid carcinoma. A patient with developed numerous metastases his lungs liver. Local including interstitial brachytherapy SBRT were used approximately 80 different over course...
To evaluate the suitability of treating atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX), an uncommon skin malignancy, with electronic brachytherapy.From Feb 2013 to Sep 2014, we were referred a total 8 cases AFX in 7 patients, all involving scalp. All them treated brachytherapy 50 Kev radiations (Xoft Axxent®, Fremont, California). lesions received 40 Gy two fractions per week 5mm margins.At median follow-up 23.7 months, local recurrence rate is 12.5%. The single lesion that failed was not debulked surgically...
Multiple pulmonary metastases present treatment difficulties in available techniques, which are inconvenient or may damage sufficient tissue to cause crippling. This retrospective study of a single-community practice evaluated responses computed tomography (CT)-guided 103Pd permanent seed brachytherapy (CTGPSB) adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) synchronous metastases. The purpose the current was document that metastatic ACC lesions can be controlled with CTGPSB.Twenty-nine discrete 14 patients...
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________explore impact of modality boost radiotherapy (electron vs. HDR interstitial brachytherapy) on long term cosmesis.Material and Methods: 194 early breast cancer patients (T1N0, T2N0, T1N1) underwent BCS (Lumpectomy =125, Quadrentectomy = 69) + N3 nodal dissection in our unit between July 2004 March 2010 after metastatic work up.Clips (4 or 5) were placed all for subsequent delineation...
High-dose-rate electronic brachytherapy (eBx) is a non-surgical treatment option for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) patients. This study assessed long-term effectiveness and safety of eBx the NMSC.A chart review was conducted to identify subjects who had five or more years since their last fraction. Subjects meeting these criteria were contacted determine interest in participating follow-up study. Those agreed, underwent visit where consent obtained, lesions clinically recurrence...
