Article Synopsis
- * An electronic survey was sent to radiation oncologists from 28 centers, with only 11 responding; 55% of these oncologists used hypofractionated radiotherapy mainly for elderly and frail patients.
- * The conclusion emphasizes the need for further high-powered studies on hypofractionated radiotherapy, suggesting it may be beneficial for selected patients in specialized sarcoma treatment centers in the future.
Purpose: Brachytherapy (BT) is a validated radiation technique for treatment of early stage tumors of oral cavity and oropharynx. This study aimed to analyze the results of our institute's patients after replacing low-dose-rate (LDR) with pulse-dose-rate (PDR) brachytherapy.
Material And Methods: We retrospectively collected data from all patients treated between 2009 and 2020 for squamous cell carcinoma (floor of the mouth, tongue, and oropharynx) using adjuvant interstitial BT with or without external RT.
Purpose: Brachytherapy (BT) is a standard treatment for low- and favorable intermediate-risk prostate adenocarcinoma. Few studies have focused on young patients. We therefore evaluated long-term efficacy and toxicity of BT in patients aged ≤ 60 years with low- and favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer.

Patients And Methods: From 2007 to 2018, patients at the Institut de cancérologie de Lorraine (France) who received exclusive or adjuvant interstitial brachytherapy for lip squamous carcinomas were studied.
Purpose: To focus on technical aspects of the implementation of interstitial high dose rate brachytherapy, with a step-by-step approach.
Materials And Methods: Patients were selected during multidisciplinary tumor boards, according to inclusion criteria adapted from GEC-ESTRO guidelines. A CT scan was performed a few days before implantation.
