Abstract:
The validity of brachytherapy has been proved in clinical tumor treatment, and robotic surgery system has been used in recent years to ensure surgical consistency. In our work, a new automatic radioactive particle implantation device with two degrees of freedom was proposed to apply in the brachytherapy robotic surgery system as an end effector. Furthermore, physical assembling and simple function verifying experiments were accomplished. This device can help simplify the operating steps during surgery, and improve the stability of the surgical system, and enhances the surgical efficiency.Cite

Objective To assess the brachytherapy effectiveness and the utilization of 103 Pd seeds in tumor therapy. Methods 31 103 Pd seed brachytherapy patients were studied in RTOG/EORTC acute and late radiation morbidity scoring criteria. Results The brachytherapy effect of 103 Pd seeds in tumor patients is obvious.28 of 31 patients showed 0 score in acute criteria. 2 of 31 patients died without the brachytherapy reason. The late scoring is still needed. Conclusions The 103 Pd seeds can be safely used in brachytherapy of tumors which are low or midiam sensitive to radiotherapy.

Brachytherapy has evolved over many decades, but more recently, there have been significant changes in the way that brachytherapy is used for different treatment sites. This has been due to the development of new, technologically advanced computer planning systems and treatment delivery techniques. Modern, three-dimensional (3D) imaging modalities have been incorporated into treatment planning methods, allowing full 3D dose distributions to be computed. Treatment techniques involving online planning have emerged, allowing dose distributions to be calculated and updated in real time based on the actual clinical situation. In the case of early stage breast cancer treatment, for example, electronic brachytherapy treatment techniques are being used in which the radiation dose is delivered during the same procedure as the surgery. There have also been significant advances in treatment applicator design, which allow the use of modern 3D imaging techniques for planning, and manufacturers have begun to implement new dose calculation algorithms that will correct for applicator shielding and tissue inhomogeneities. This article aims to review the recent developments and best practice in brachytherapy techniques and treatments. It will look at how imaging developments have been incorporated into current brachytherapy treatment and how these developments have played an integral role in the modern brachytherapy era. The planning requirements for different treatments sites are reviewed as well as the future developments of brachytherapy in radiobiology and treatment planning dose calculation.

Cervical cancer is a prevalent malignant tumour of the female reproductive system, posing a significant threat to women's health and lives in China. Brachytherapy is a crucial component of radiotherapy for patients with locally intermediate and advanced cervical cancer. This includes intracavitary brachytherapy, interstitial brachytherapy, intracavitary and interstitial combined brachytherapy, and radioactive seed implantation brachytherapy. The aim of this article is to provide an update on the use of intracavitary brachytherapy, interstitial brachytherapy, and radioactive particle implantation.

Brachytherapy has been a popular topic for AAPM summer schools, with this marking the third time the subject has been covered (past schools on the topic were held in 1994 and 2005). This book was developed for the AAPM 2017 Summer School in Portland, Oregon, held in conjunction with the American Brachytherapy Association. From Joann Prisciandaro in Medical Physics… "Overall, this text is well written and provides a nice summary of current and developing clinical brachytherapy practice patterns. …from my perspective as a practicing brachytherapy physicist and educator, this text will make an extremely useful reference and will certainly be added to my list of required reading for residents and graduate students." This book is more than a comprehensive overview of the brachytherapy tools and techniques used in a modern clinic. The book also looks at numerous exciting approaches currently under development. Topics include HDR and LDR brachytherapy for the prostate, general planning and model-based dose calculation algorithms, intensity-modulated brachytherapy, electronic brachytherapy sources and techniques, and brachytherapy advances for treating skin, gynecological, and breast cancer. Some of the promising new techniques covered include focal therapy, the use of 3D printing to augment treatment, advances in needle tracking, in vivo dosimetry, and the use of robotics in brachytherapy.
