Configuration analysis of the injection position and shape of the gel spacer in gynecologic brachytherapy

Kotaro Iijima et al.

Summary: This study conducted configuration analysis to determine the optimal location and volume of hyaluronic acid gel spacer injection into the rectovaginal or vesicovaginal septum for effective dose reduction to the rectum and bladder. The results showed that injection of the gel spacer within specific distances and directions predicted a higher dose reduction, with correlations between covering doses and gel spacer parameters. A gel spacer volume of approximately 10 cm³ provides sufficient organ at risk dose reduction if positioned properly.

Predicting which patients may benefit from the hybrid intracavitary plus interstitial needle (IC/IS) applicator for advanced cervical cancer: A dosimetric comparison and toxicity benefit analysis

Yesenia Gonzalez et al.

Summary: The study compared the effectiveness of image-guided adaptive brachytherapy plans using different applicators for locally advanced cervical cancer patients. The results showed that using a hybrid applicator like T/R + N could lead to better local control rates and lower bladder and rectum toxicity rates, especially for patients with larger tumor volumes or asymmetric tumor shapes.
