Hydrogel spacer injection to the meso-sigmoid to protect the sigmoid colon in cervical cancer brachytherapy: A technical report
CONCLUSIONS: The dose ratio of the sigmoid colon to HR-CTV D90 was decreased by introducing a hydrogel spacer into the meso-sigmoid. In cases where the sigmoid colon is in proximity to the cervical tumor, this novel technique can be considered to achieve better clinical outcomes.PMID:38230404 | PMC:PMC10789158 | DOI:10.5114/jcb.2023.134174 (Source: Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy)

Comparison of dosimetric analysis of organs at risk and target volumes for ovoids and cylinders in endometrial carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed that the dose to organs at risk, most of the dosimetric parameters of CTV, and vault were comparable between the cylinder and ovoid plans. Both applicators provide good reproducibility. The choice of applicator will ultimately depend on the institutional policies and oncologist decision. However, in patients with dog-ear configuration of the vagina, ovoids may be preferred as per ABS guidelines.PMID:38230405 | PMC:PMC10789155 | DOI:10.5114/jcb.2023.134171 (Source: Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy)

Clinical implementation of three-dimensional standardized template-guided brachytherapy for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer
CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of 3D standardized template can potentially improve the precision and consistency in the needle insertion procedure that may replace some customized 3D templates, and achieve clinical satisfied dose distribution in IC/ISBT plans for patients with LACC.PMID:38230396 | PMC:PMC10789161 | DOI:10.5114/jcb.2023.134170 (Source: Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy)
