The American Brachytherapy Society (ABS) consensus guidance for hybrid intracavitary interstitial brachytherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer
PURPOSE
The purpose of this consensus statement from the American Brachytherapy Society (ABS) is to summarize important considerations for adding interstitial needles to intracavitary implants for cervix cancer brachytherapy.
METHODS
A panel of experts in Gynecologic Brachytherapy, including both physicians and physicists completed surveys and met virtually on multiple occasions to discuss and define current practices and approaches in order to summarize these for the ABS community. This document was drafted, reviewed and approved by the full panel and the ABS Board of Directors.
RESULTS
Hybrid brachytherapy is increasingly being utilized in cervix brachytherapy. In incorporating supplementary interstitial needles there are numerous key considerations including resources for an emergency, planning considerations, applicator selection, and pre-, intra- and postprocedural imaging. Additionally, approaches to challenging cases that would often benefit from a hybrid approach are discussed.
CONCLUSIONS
While hybrid brachytherapy offers dosimetric advantages for cervix brachytherapy, it increases procedure complexity. Being aware of the necessary resources and defining considerations can help mitigate some of the challenges and improve procedural success.
期刊介绍:
Brachytherapy is an international and multidisciplinary journal that publishes original peer-reviewed articles and selected reviews on the techniques and clinical applications of interstitial and intracavitary radiation in the management of cancers. Laboratory and experimental research relevant to clinical practice is also included. Related disciplines include medical physics, medical oncology, and radiation oncology and radiology. Brachytherapy publishes technical advances, original articles, reviews, and point/counterpoint on controversial issues. Original articles that address any aspect of brachytherapy are invited. Letters to the Editor-in-Chief are encouraged.
