Perioperative high dose rate brachytherapy is a radiotherapy treatment technique which involves intraoperative insertions of brachytherapy catheters into the tumor bed during the surgical resection followed by treatment in the post-operative period. We report here two cases to highlight its use in the primary treatment and reirradiation of head and neck cancers.

A vizsgálat célja a Fővárosi Onkoradiológiai Központban a PET/CT alapú besugárzástervezéssel szerzett eddigi tapasztalatok értékelése fej-nyak tumoros betegeknél. 2008. március és 2009. február között 11 betegnél történt PET/CT alapú 3D konformális besugárzás fej-nyaki régióban. A PET/CT vizsgálatot követően a kezelési terv 11-ből 6 betegnél módosult, mivel a vizsgálat kóros nyaki nyirokcsomót mutatott. Ez tette szükségessé a kezelés kombinálását egyidejű kemoterápiával, esetenként a klinikai céltérfogat (CTV) és a tervezési céltérfogat (PTV) változtatását is. Mindezek alapján egyértelmű, hogy a fej-nyak tumoros betegeknél a PET/CT vizsgálatnak nagy jelentősége van a komplex kezelési terv felállításában és a besugárzástervezésben is.

Background: The use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as radiosensitizers may offer a new approach in the treatment of head and neck cancers; minimizing treatment-associated toxicities and improving patient outcomes. AuNPs promote localized dose deposition; permitting improved local control and/or dose reduction. Aim: This work aimed to address the theoretical optimization of radiation doses, fractionation and nanoparticle injection schedules to maximize therapeutic benefits. Materials & methods: Probabilistic nanoparticle sensitization factors were incorporated into the individual cell-based HYP-RT computer model of tumor growth and radiotherapy. Results: Total dose outcomes across all radiation therapy treatment regimens were found to be significantly reduced with the presence of AuNPs, with bi-weekly injections showing the most decrease. Conclusion: Outcomes suggest the need for regular AuNP administration to permit effective radiosensitization.
