Aims: Brachytherapy is advantageous for localised rhabdomyosarcomas in children compared with external beam radiotherapy, sparing close organs at risk with highly conformal dosimetry. A methodology for planning and delivering fractionated high-dose-rate paediatric pelvic brachytherapy is detailed, and the dosimetric parameters are presented. This provides a practical template for radiotherapy departments with a similar patient cohort to implement this treatment technique.

Article Synopsis
  • Inpatient hospices (IHs) showed potential to reduce distress and financial burden for terminal lung cancer patients, but findings on cost savings and medication use were inconsistent.
  • A study analyzed data from 31,139 Korean patients who died between 2017 and 2020, focusing on hospitalization costs and medication use depending on the timing of their first hospitalization before death.
  • Results indicated that IHs had lower costs during the final 30 days of life but no difference in total costs for the year before death, and they prescribed significantly more opioid analgesics and other symptom-oriented medications compared to non-IHs.
