Article Synopsis
- Primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (PCSM-TCLPD) is a rare, benign skin condition with a good prognosis, but its features and treatments are not well understood.
- A study found that most patients achieved complete remission after various treatments including biopsies, corticosteroids, and radiation.
- The majority of patients responded positively to localized therapies, with very few cases progressing beyond the skin, highlighting the effectiveness of targeted treatment strategies.*
Purpose: We sought to determine whether placing empty catheters within the prostate and then inverse planning iodine-125 seed locations within those catheters (High Dose Rate-Emulating Low Dose Rate Prostate Brachytherapy [HELP] technique) would improve concordance between planned and achieved dosimetry compared with a standard intraoperative technique.
Methods And Materials: We examined 30 consecutive low dose rate prostate cases performed by standard intraoperative technique of planning followed by needle placement/seed deposition and compared them to 30 consecutive low dose rate prostate cases performed by the HELP technique. The primary endpoint was concordance between planned percentage of the clinical target volume that receives at least 100% of the prescribed dose/dose that covers 90% of the volume of the clinical target volume (V100/D90) and the actual V100/D90 achieved at Postoperative Day 1.
