Filter by:This study will assess the comfort and fit of a novel applicator for endometrial cancer patients who are candidates for vaginal brachytherapy. This study is only assessing the applicator fitting. No patients in this study will be treated with the novel applicator.
The malignant tumor at the thoracic entrance is difficult to be surgically removed, and radiotherapy or radiotherapy based comprehensive treatment is often chosen at the initial diagnosis. However, for patients with recurrence after radiotherapy, there is basically no ideal local treatment.The Radioactive i-125 Seed Implantation (RISI) therapy is characterized by high dose within the tumor target area and low dose to surrounding normal tissues, and its radiation dose rate is low, which theoretically benefits the protection of normal tissues and is more suitable for the salvage treatment of recurrent lesions after radiotherapy.3 d printing template technology is through the advance of the preoperative plan design and optimization, to achieve better avoid endanger organs, template of individualized and human body surface after laminating, registration accuracy, its guide pillar to precise control the direction of the needle, the present data show that in the template with CT guided by solid tumors as well had significantly higher accuracy, as the actual target dose of basic postoperative can reach the design request of the preoperative planning, so the application of 3 d printing template helps to further improve the operation efficiency and safety, also has potential promotion effect to curative effect. The purpose of this study is: (1) Observe the efficacy, toxicity and side effects of 3d-printed template assisted ct-guided RISI in the treatment of recurrent metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of thoracic inlet lymph node after radiotherapy, and evaluate its safety and effectiveness; (2) to explore the relationship between the efficacy, toxicity and side effects of relapsed metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of thoracic inlet lymph node after radiotherapy with different RISI doses;(3)the related influencing factors affecting the effect/toxicity of RISI in the treatment of relapsed lymph node metastatic squamous cell carcinoma at the thoracic inlet after radiotherapy were analyzed.
The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Valsalva maneuver as non pharmacological approach and control in reducing pain during spinal injection.
Patients with recurrence after radiotherapy are often encountered in clinical practice.Patients with recurrence after radiotherapy are less likely to undergo surgery or secondary radiotherapy, and the guidelines recommend only systemic therapy, although the effective rate is relatively low.For patients with local recurrence without distant metastasis, local treatment is still significant.Radioactive I-125 Seed Implantation (RISI) treatment is to I-125 Radioactive nuclide directly inside the implanted tumors, make its rays to continuous destruction of tumor cells, have inside the tumor target high dose, low dose of normal tissue around, and its radiation is low dose rate, in theory, more conducive to the protection of the normal tissue, more suitable for salvage treatment of recurrence after radiotherapy lesions.Some retrospective studies on RISI treatment of NSCLC showed that the local control rate was up to 25%-80%, and there were few reports of toxic and side effects, suggesting that it had good efficiency and safety.Therefore, for patients with recurrent NSCLC after chest radiotherapy, RISI may be considered.And template technology, 3 d printing is a new kind of technology in recent years, can be individualized and human body surface, the guide posts on the the direction of the puncture needle can be accurately controlled, the current data show that in the template with CT guided by solid tumors as well had significantly higher accuracy, as the actual target dose of basic postoperative can reach the design request of the preoperative planning, so the application of 3D printing template helps to further improve the operation efficiency and safety, also has potential promotion effect to curative effect.The purpose of this study was: (1) to observe the efficacy, toxic and side effects of RISI in the treatment of recurrent NSCLC after radiotherapy under the guidance of 3D printing template assisted CT, and to evaluate its safety and effectiveness;(2) to explore the relationship between the efficacy, toxicity and side effects of RISI dose in the treatment of recurrent NSCLC after radiotherapy;(3) analyze the relevant influencing factors affecting the effect/toxicity of RISI in the treatment of recurrent NSCLC after radiotherapy.
Data of 100 patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer who received stereotactic radiotherapy or ct-guided radioactive 125I seed implantation in the multicenter of the research group from July 2019 to June 2021 were collected, as well as follow-up data.To evaluate the clinical efficacy of stereotactic radiotherapy and ct-guided 125I seed therapy with 3D printing template in pancreatic cancer;In addition, the local control rate and side effects of ct-guided radioactive 125I particles in the treatment of pancreatic cancer lesions were explored, and the efficacy and safety of different doses of stereotactic radiotherapy were determined.
Formal hypnosis is a non-drug technique known to decrease anxiety and pain during the preoperative procedure. In brachytherapy, the practice of hypnosis has been shown to be feasible and beneficial for patients treated for prostate cancer The goal of the study is to demonstrate the added value of hypnosis during a brachytherapy detachment by improving the comfort of the patient. The investigators want to evaluate the contribution of hypnosis during brachytherapy detachment by quantifying the anxiety and pain felt by the patient during the procedure.
