Dosimetric impact of bladder filling on organs at risk with barium contrast in the small bowel for adjuvant vaginal cuff brachytherapy.

Purpose: The aim of this prospective study was to analyze dosimetric impact of modifying bladder filling on dose distribution in organs at risk (OARs) when using contrast in the small bowel of patients under adjuvant therapy with high-dose-rate vaginal cuff brachytherapy (HDR-VCB) for endometrial cancer.

Material And Methods: This research included 19 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery. They were treated with HDR-VCB and 2.

Radiation therapy for the management of painful bone metastases: Results from a randomized trial.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two radiotherapy schedules in patients with bone metastases.

Background: We analyzed the need for re-irradiation, rates of pain control, pathological fractures, and functionality in patients randomized to single-fraction (8 Gy 1×) or multiple-fraction radiotherapy (3 Gy 10×) with at least 12 months follow-up, during five years. The hypothesis was that the two radiotherapy schedules are equally effective.
