The controversy about the treatment of carcinoma prostate has increased in last decade, with most urologists favoring radical prostatectomy rather than primary irradiation. Several reports persistent tumors 50% to 90% patients after external irradiation and permanent iodine-125 implantation have been disturbing. From July 1977 December 1985, 200 adenocarcinoma were treated by combining bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy temporary interstitial iridium-192 prostate, followed Seventy-four (36%)...
We report the outcome and toxicities of high dose rate brachytherapy as a boost for localized prostate cancer.Between 1996 2003, 309 patients with carcinoma were treated external beam radiation therapy brachytherapy. Furthermore, 36% received neoadjuvant/concurrent or adjuvant androgen deprivation therapy. Patients stratified into 3 groups. Group 1 67 had Gleason score 6 less, pretreatment specific antigen 10 ng/ml less clinical stage T2a less. 2 109 7 greater, greater than T2b greater. 133...
Forty patients with a diagnosis of recurrent pelvic malignancy from various primary sites no clinical evidence distant metastasis were re-irradiated interstitial implant. Removable after-loading 192Ir sources or permanent 125I seeds combination both used. Twenty-six these received implant at the time exploratory laparotomy. A complete local control implanted tumors was achieved in 27 40 (67%). Thirteen (33%) remained alive and disease-free to minimum follow-up period two years. Serious...
Retreatment of persistent (or “recurrent”) carcinoma the head and neck by means after-loading 192Ir techniques may prove quite satisfactory. A total 64 patients were retreated these from February, 1974 to October, 1975 at Los Angeles County—University Southern California Medical Center Cancer Center. Follow-up periods, averaging only 24 months (18 36 months), are too short for statistically significant evaluation survival, but “response rate” has been gratifying. Only 11 our (17%) have shown...
Eighteen patients with locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the head, body and tail pancreas were treated by a combination biliary bypass, external interstitial irradiation at Southern California Cancer Center Hospital Medical Center, Los Angeles, Memorial Long Beach, CA, from July 31, 1975 to December 1980. A dose 3000 5000 rad was delivered regional lymph nodes utilizing megavoltage units 10,000 15,000 metastatic permanent Iodine-125 implants. In this group 18 unresectable carcinoma...
Forty-patients with locally extensive carcinoma of the anorectum were treated by a combination external and interstitial irradiation from April 1, 1974 to January 30, 1979. Twenty-eight patients (70%) achieved complete local tumor control two more residual salvaged surgery. Twenty-four remain alive for an average follow up period three years. The overall complication rate has been 20%.
Because primary carcinoma of the vagina comprises less than 2% all gynecologic malignancies, reported experience in treatment large numbers patients is available only from a few major centers and most often encompasses variety differences selection technique. The objective this study was to assess long term results an interstitial iridium-192 afterloading implant technique using Syed-Neblett dedicated vaginal plastic template.Patients who were treated 1976 1997 examined...
After-loading implantation techniques apparently offer an effective alternative in the management of persistent (or recurrent) oropharynx and oral cavity carcinoma postirradiation. A total 29 patients with such lesions was treated from February 1974, to July 1975, LAC/USC Radiation Medicine Section, using after-loading 192Ir techniques. These all had extensive cancer after “full tolerance” irradiation (with or without previous surgery) were referred for palliation possible salvage....
Forty patients with prostate adenocarcinoma had bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy, temporary Ir-192 implantation, and external irradiation. With the implant, received less than or equal to 3,000 rad (30 Gy) for A2 B1 3,500 (35 B2 C lesions in 40-45 hours. Ten days 2 weeks later, 4,000 (40 irradiation was given 4-5 using AP PA parallel opposed fields, a "box," rotation. Patients positive nodes were 5,000 (50 pelvis midline block at so that 7,000-7,500 (70-75 Gy). All free of local recurrence....
Although radical prostatectomy for localized disease is considered as a standard of care, external-beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy are equally effective. We report on the technique preliminary results high-dose-rate (HDR) using temporary iridium-192 implant technique.The authors reviewed literature techniques, treatment protocols, HDR in carcinoma prostate, they their own technique, results.The combination external irradiation has been well tolerated by all 200 patients our series, with...
