Prostate brachytherapy has been the subject of heated debate among surgeons and the proponents of the various brachytherapy methods. This very first interdisciplinary book on the subject provides a comprehensive overview of innovations in low dose rate (LDR), high dose rate (HDR), and pulsed dose rate (PDR) interstitial brachytherapy for the management of local or locally advanced prostate cancer. In addition to detailed chapters on patient selection and the use of imaging in diagnostics, treat…

- Abstract
- Prostate brachytherapy has been the subject of heated debate among surgeons and the proponents of the various brachytherapy methods. This very first interdisciplinary book on the subject provides a comprehensive overview of innovations in low dose rate (LDR), high dose rate (HDR), and pulsed dose rate (PDR) interstitial brachytherapy for the management of local or locally advanced prostate cancer. In addition to detailed chapters on patient selection and the use of imaging in diagnostics, treatment guidance, and implantation control, background chapters are included on related medical physics issues such as treatment planning and quality assurance. The results obtained with the different treatment options and the difficult task of salvage treatment are fully discussed. All chapters have been written by internationally recognized experts in their fields who for more than a decade have formed the teaching staff responsible for the successful GEC-ESTRO/EAU Prostate Brachytherapy Teaching Course. This book will be invaluable in informing residents and others of the scientific background and potential of modern prostate brachytherapy. It will also prove a useful source of up-to-date information for those who specialize in prostate brachytherapy or intend to start an interstitial brachytherapy service.

- Abstract
- This is the second edition of a very well received book devoted specifically to the treatment of liver tumors by radioembolization with 90Y microspheres. The success of the first edition was based on the provision of all the fundamental information required for successful use of this therapeutic modality in clinical practice. The new edition has been fully updated to cover the most recent advances and includes additional chapters on regulations and emerging trends. Detailed information is provided on the full range of relevant topics, including hepatic vascular anatomy (including variants), dosimetry, assessment of tumor response, and the results achieved using radioembolization alone and in combination with other treatments in patients with primary or metastatic disease. Complications and side-effects are also fully discussed.
- Contents
- 90Y Microspheres: Concepts and Principles -- Regulations and Requirements of Hospitals Performing Radioembolization -- Radiological Evaluation of Patients with Liver Tumors -- Vascular Anatomy and Its Implication in Radioembolization -- Radioembolization: Identifying and Managing Anatomic Variants -- Dosimetry and Dose Calculation -- Nuclear Medicine Procedures for Treatment Evaluation and Administration -- Radiological Detection and Assessment of Tumor Response -- Evaluation of the Response by Multimodality Imaging -- Results in Hepatocellular Carcinoma -- HCC. Radioembolization Combined with Other Therapeutic Local and Systemic Treatment -- Principles for Combining Radioembolisation with Systemic Chemotherapy for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer -- Results in Liver Metastatic Colorectal Cancer -- Treatment of Neuroendocrine Tumors with Selective Internal Radiation Therapy -- Yttrium-90 Microspheres for Other Liver Metastases -- Surgical Treatment and Radioembolization -- Complications and Side Effects -- Radioembolization-Induced Liver Disease.
