Single or multi-channel applicators including sector-shielding are characterized. A modified 3-channel-applicator offers beside the well known advantages, the possibility to irradiate a vaginal infiltration and the cervix simultaneously and guarantees a definite distance to rectum and bladder and allows an improved representation on localisation-films. Extended tumor-invasion requires beside the intracavitary therapy an additional percutaneous irradiation. Depending on the theoretical approach, intracavitary or percutaneous therapy is predominant. The complex 3-dimensional intracavitary isodose distribution and the locally different fractionation has to be considered by matching the intracavitary and percutaneous therapy.

{"title":"[Bone scintigraphy for the staging of lymphogranulomatosis?].","authors":"H Hundeshagen,&nbsp;V Diehl,&nbsp;H Creutzig","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The importance of bone scintigraphy for the classification of stages of lymphogranulomatosis is judged differently, the indications in literature are not unanimous. The high sensitivity of this method is uncontested, but it is said to be not very reliable in the exclusion of a bone manifestation because of its low specificness. Bone scintigraphy demonstrates a disturbance in bone metabolism; in clinical examination this has to be checked by X-ray view in order to exclude not tumor-induced reasons for the increased or decreased concentration. In a prospective study we have investigated if this combined radiologic approach allows to use scintigraphy in the classification of stages. Four out of 23 patients in stage I showed a tumor-suspicious scintigram which was confirmed by X-ray examination within 1 1/2 years in two patients. One quarter of 133 patients in stage II and III had a pathologic scintigram. In 34 out of 36 patients who could be followed up, this was confirmed later on by an X-ray finding in the same site. 15 out of 36 patients in stage III with initially normal scintigram showed a conversion to a tumor-suspicious scan during the later course of the disease. The tumor-suspicious scintigraphy found at the time of classification of stages has been confirmed later on by X-ray examination in 91% of our series. So, scintigraphy may be considered to be valuable for the classification of stages. Furthermore the conformity of tumor-suspicious scintigram and bone marrow biopsy was investigated. Whereas in 62% of patients with M+ a bone manifestation could be demonstrated by scintigraphy, only 46% of patients with scintigraphic 0+ showed a histologic manifestation in bone marrow. Consequently, bone scintigraphy cannot be used to demonstrate or to exclude a manifestation in bone marrow. As the metabolism is modified by therapy in case of a demonstrated bone manifestation, scintigraphy should be a sensitive parameter in these cases, too, for an early indication of response to cytostatic treatment. The scintigram became normal in 46 patients coming to a complete remission; eight out of nine patients the scintigraphic findings of whom became worse were non-responders. Five out of twelve patients with unchanged scintigram came to a remission. A normalizing scintigram indicates a response to therapy, whereas a deterioration suggests a non-response. Bone scintigraphy can also be used to judge the success of a cytostatic therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":21981,"journal":{"name":"Strahlentherapie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"15136747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"[Clinical experience with short-term afterloading therapy in comparison with conventional brachytherapy in the treatment of gynecologic tumors].","authors":"F H Glaser,&nbsp;D Grimm,&nbsp;G Haensgen,&nbsp;G Rauh,&nbsp;V Schuchardt","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The short-term afterloading therapy (AL-ST) with high dose rates (DR) and remote control prevents the risk of a radiation exposure of the staff, facilitates the optimization of the dose distribution in space, makes the treatment easier for patients and hospital, and allows a considerable increase of the treatment capacity without additional need of staff or capital. AL-ST works with another dose distribution in time than the conventional brachytherapy, so a higher fractionation of high-dose-rate afterloading is substituted for the classical protraction of low-dose-rate brachytherapy. 2072 patients with gynecologic tumors were treated by AL-ST between 1974 and 1983. 1762 out of them (964 carcinomas of the cervix, 677 carcinomas of the body, and 121 vaginal tumors, metastases and urethral carcinomas) could be checked up for at least twelve months up to more than five years, which allowed an evaluation with regard to recurrence-free survival rate, local absence of tumors, and side effects. The five-year survival rates obtained by primary and post-operative AL-ST are compared to historical control groups of our own hospital and to the international results. The results, related to the stages, are at least equivalent; several groups show a statistically significant improvement compared to conventional brachytherapy. The incidence of early and late reactions in bladder and rectum showed a statistically significant decrease after AL-ST and was dependent on the dose in a statistically highly significant manner (p = 0.001). In addition to the well-known advantages of AL-ST, the following may be mentioned: 1. The intracavitary application was made without general anaesthesia, only with sedation by drugs, which prevented the primary treatment mortality. 2. An ambulatory treatment was possible in about 40% of the cases due to the time-sparing and patient-sparing method--the advantages are evident. 3. The therapeutic efficacy is increased and the risk of side effects in bladder and rectum is decreased by the better radiobiologic (same DR) and dosimetric adaption of AL-ST and percutaneous high-voltage therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":21981,"journal":{"name":"Strahlentherapie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"15044700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
