: Radiotherapy represents the only treatment option for patients with inoperable endometrial cancer (EC). The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brachytherapy (BT) in this selected patient population. : Between 1990 and 2019, 18 patients with inoperable EC in stage FIGO I-IV were treated with intracavitary brachytherapy using the "Heyman Packing technique".

- Radical urethrectomy and cystectomy have traditionally been the standard treatment for rare primary urethral cancer (PUC), but this study explores the use of brachytherapy (BT) as a safer alternative for organ preservation.
- The study included three patients treated with various forms of brachytherapy between 2011 and 2020, with all patients showing no local recurrence after a median follow-up of 103 months.
- Brachytherapy demonstrated a high local control rate and tolerable side effects, suggesting it could be a promising option for selected patients instead of surgery.
Low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy with I-125 seeds is one of the most common primary tumor treatments for low-risk and low-intermediate-risk prostate cancer. This report aimed to present an analysis of single-institution long-term results. We analyzed the treatment outcomes of 119 patients with low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer treated with LDR brachytherapy at our institution between 2014 and 2020.

The aim of our study was to analyze the efficacy and safety of brachytherapy in patients with vaginal cancer.
Materials And Methods: Between 2000 and 2023, 27 patients with vaginal cancer in stage FIGO I-III were treated with brachytherapy with or without external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and simultaneous chemotherapy.
Objective: There are numerous curative treatment possibilities for prostate cancer. In patients who have undergone rectal extirpation for rectal cancer treatment, curative options are limited due to anatomic changes and previous irradiation of the pelvis. In this analysis, we validate the feasibility of CT-guided transperineal interstitial brachytherapy for this specific scenario.
