intracavitary การใช้

• There are also devices that combine the features of interstitial and intracavitary breast brachytherapy ( e . g.
• Specific treatments include high-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy, bilary duct brachytherapy, and intracavitary cervix brachytherapy.
• Intracavitary breast brachytherapy ( also known as  balloon brachytherapy ) involves the placement of a single catheter into the breast cavity left after the removal of the tumour ( lumpectomy ).
• The more consistent results have been seen in : adenocarcinoma of the breast, adenocarcinoma of the ovary, superficial papillary carcinoma of the urinary bladder and for controlling intracavitary effusions secondary to diffuse or localized neoplastic diseases of various serosal cavities.
• Due to the poor outcomes associated with damage to the pituitary and hypothalamus from surgical removal and radiation, experimental therapies using intracavitary phosphorus-32, yttrium, or bleomycin delivered via an external reservoir are sometimes employed, especially in young patients.
• The department of radiation oncology has two linear accelerators with IMRT capabilities, microselectron HDR with TCS remote after loading brachytherapy equipment for providing intraluminal, intracavitary, interstitial and surface mould radiation in 10 15 minutes, compared to two-three days by conventional methods; three treatment planning systems ( including 3-D eclipse TPS ) and inverse planning system, amorphous silicon online treatment port verification system and mould room facilities.
