Brachytherapy Applications and Techniques Phillip M. Devlin
Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins




This paper will focus on EUS-guided oncologic cooling owing to the Joule-Thomson effect. France was also where Marie and Pierre Curie discovered the radioactive isotope Radium, and where the first clinical applications of Radium to treat cancer occurred. The book-the first of its kind-addresses applications of the Monte Carlo particle transport simulation technique in radiation therapy, mainly focusing on external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy. Interventional EUS enables various therapeutic options: local ablation, brachytherapy, placement of fiducial markers for radiotherapy, and direct injection of antitumor agents into cancer.

Things have come a long way in the 100 years since these first experiments: we now have much more "user-friendly" isotopes, imaging techniques to guide treatment with precision, and computer programs to plan the exact location, dosage and length of radiation treatment. The brachytherapy segment is expected to experience high uptake in emerging economies like India, China, and Brazil. They reported that this new probe created an ablation zone with the extent depending on the duration of the RF application and with fewer complications than other RF ablation techniques.
