A Single-Institution Analysis of 126 Patients Treated with Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Brain Metastases.

Background: The objective of this study was to report our institutional experience with Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKRS) in the treatment of patients with brain metastases.

Methods: Retrospectively collected demographic and clinical data on 126 patients with intracranial metastases were reviewed. The patients in our study underwent GKRS at Vidant Medical Center between 2009 and 2014.

A novel conformal superficial high-dose-rate brachytherapy device for the treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancer and keloids.

Purpose: To develop a novel conformal superficial brachytherapy (CSBT) device as a treatment option for the patient-specific radiation therapy of conditions including superficial lesions, postsurgical positive margins, Dupuytren's contractures, keloid scars, and complex anatomic sites (eyelids, nose, ears, etc.).

Methods And Materials: A preliminary CSBT device prototype was designed, built, and tested using readily available radioactive seeds.
