Abstract
PURPOSE A prototype infrared camera - cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) system for tracking in brachytherapy has recently been developed. We evaluated for the first time the corresponding tracking accuracy and uncertainties, and implemented a tracking-based prediction of needles on CBCT scans. METHODS A marker tool rigidly attached to needles was 3D printed. The precision and accuracy of tool tracking was then evaluated for both static and dynamic scenarios. Euclidean distances between the tracked and CBCT-derived markers were assessed as well. To implement needle tracking, ground truth models of the tool attached to 200 mm and 160 mm needles were matched to the tracked positions in order to project the needles into CBCT scans. Deviations between projected and actual needle tips were measured. Finally, we put our results into perspective with simulations of the system's tracking uncertainties. RESULTS For the stationary scenario and dynamic movements, we achieved tool-tracking precision and accuracy of 0.04 ± 0.06 mm and 0.16 ± 0.18 mm, respectively. The tracked marker positions differed by 0.52 ± 0.18 mm from the positions determined via CBCT. In addition, the predicted needle tips in air deviated from the actual tip positions by only 1.62 ± 0.68 mm (200 mm needle) and 1.49 ± 0.62 mm (160 mm needle). The simulated tracking uncertainties resulted in tip variations of 1.58 ± 0.91 mm and 1.31 ± 0.69 mm for the 200 mm and 160 mm needles, respectively. CONCLUSION With the innovative system it was possible to achieve a high tracking and prediction accuracy of marker tool and needles. The system shows high potential for applicator tracking in brachytherapy.

Abstract
This study assessed the significance of hands-on-training (HoT) and questionnaire-based surveys on 3D image-guided brachytherapy (3D-IGBT) and a combination of intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy, the so-called 'hybrid' BT (HBT), in uterine cervical cancer. In October 2023, 29 radiation oncologists, nurses, radiologic technologists and medical physicists from 10 Japanese facilities participated in an HoT on 3D-IGBT and HBT. Questionnaires were distributed to each participant before and after the HoT, and feedback was obtained through online channels. The questionnaire response rate was 83% (24/29), with at least one participant responding from each facility. 'Insertion of applicators and needles', 'human resource shortage' and 'pain relief and sedation' were the primary concerns of radiation oncologists. 'Applicator reconstruction', ' optimization of dwell positions', ' treatment planning' and ' human resource shortages ' were the primary concerns of radiological technologists and medical physicists. The HoT content was adjusted according to the results of preliminary surveys. The concerns expressed by the participants were addressed during the lectures and practical training. Significant reductions in anxiety were observed toward all items of the 10-point self-assessment after the HoT, regardless of the profession. The average score on satisfaction with the HoT (on a 10-point scale) was 9.52 (minimum of 8 and maximum of 10). In conclusion, HoT tailored in response to a pre-questionnaire-based survey effectively reduced participants' anxiety regarding the implementation of 3D-IGBT and HBT.

JOURNAL OF RADIATION RESEARCH 2024; 65:387-392. [PMID: 38610064 PMCID: PMC11115469 DOI: 10.1093/jrr/rrae018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the need for prophylactic antibiotic treatment prior to combined intracavitary and interstitial (hybrid) brachytherapy for gynecologic cancer. A total of 105 gynecologic cancer patients received 405 brachytherapy sessions, including 302 sessions of intracavitary brachytherapy and 103 sessions of hybrid brachytherapy. Prophylactic antibiotics were administered before 35% of the hybrid brachytherapy sessions. The incidence of postbrachytherapy fever and the frequency of subsequent antibiotic use for infection were compared between treatment groups. Among patients treated with hybrid brachytherapy, fever ≥37.5°C occurred in 16.4% of those not receiving prophylactic antibiotics and 16.7% of those receiving prophylactic antibiotics (P > 0.05). Similarly, fever ≥38.0°C occurred in 4.9% of patients not receiving prophylactic antibiotics and 2.4% of those receiving prophylactic antibiotics (P > 0.05). Additional antibiotics were used to treat postbrachytherapy infections in 4.8% of the group receiving prophylactic antibiotics and 0% of those not receiving prophylactic antibiotics, again without statistically significant difference. There were also no significant differences in posttreatment fever incidence and antibiotics use for infection between intracavitary brachytherapy and hybrid brachytherapy sessions. In conclusion, the incidences of infection and fever are low following hybrid brachytherapy, so prophylactic antibiotics are generally unnecessary.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of transvaginal approach combined intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy (IC/IS BT) assisted by transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) for treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 30 patients of LACC treated with external beam radiotherapy and IC/IS BT via transvaginal approach assisted by transrectal ultrasound were observed retrospectively. The 2-year local control (LC), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Late adverse events were also evaluated to assess the safety of IC/IS BT. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 22 months. The 2-year LC, PFS, and OS were 90%, 61%, and 82%, respectively. We observed no critical complications related to the IC/IS BT technique. Late adverse events of grade 3 or more included one case of grade 4 colon perforation. CONCLUSION Our patient series demonstrated that radiotherapy combined with transvaginal approach, TRUS-assisted IC/IS BT achieves favorable local control and safety for LACC.

Abstract
Purpose To present a new technique for the treatment of vaginal cuff recurrences using 3D-printed vaginal cylindrical template (3D-PVCT) with curved needle channels in brachytherapy. Material and methods Two patients with vaginal cuff tumor treated with external beam radiotherapy and MRI-guided interstitial brachytherapy were selected for the present study. Prior to treatment, a vaginal cylinder with the same size as 3D-PVCT was inserted into the vagina. Magnetic resonance scan was performed to identify target volumes and organs at risk (OARs). By registration techniques, the implantation angle was determined, appropriate needle channels were selected, and the depth of each needle position was recorded. During the actual treatment, patients were under general anesthesia, and real-time guidance of trans-rectal ultrasound was applied referring to a pre-determined treatment plan. Results For patient No. 1, 9 needles were inserted into the tumor, with 4 curved needle channels and 5 straight channels. For patient No. 2, 7 needles were inserted into the vaginal cuff tumor, with 6 curved needle channels and 1 straight channel. Doses delivered to volumes of targets and OARs for both patients met the EMBRACE II dose constraints. After follow-up of 15 and 18 months, respectively, both patients showed complete response, with no evidence of tumor recurrence. No significant acute or late toxicities were reported. Conclusions With careful pre-planning, 3D-PVCT provides good target coverage and sparing of OARs. The results from these two patients indicate that this approach is very promising due to its flexibility and potential widespread application in the future.

Abstract
This review aims to showcase the brachytherapy tools and technologies that have emerged during the last 10 years. Soft-tissue contrast using magnetic resonance and ultrasound imaging has seen enormous growth in use to plan all forms of brachytherapy. The era of image-guided brachytherapy has encouraged the development of advanced applicators and given rise to the growth of individualised 3D printing to achieve reproducible and predictable implants. These advances increase the quality of implants to better direct radiation to target volumes while sparing normal tissue. Applicator reconstruction has moved beyond manual digitising, to drag and drop of three-dimensional applicator models with embedded pre-defined source pathways, ready for auto-recognition and automation. The simplified TG-43 dose calculation formalism directly linked to reference air kerma rate of high-energy sources in the medium water remains clinically robust. Model-based dose calculation algorithms accounting for tissue heterogeneity and applicator material will advance the field of brachytherapy dosimetry to become more clinically accurate. Improved dose-optimising toolkits contribute to the real-time and adaptive planning portfolio that harmonises and expedites the entire image-guided brachytherapy process. Traditional planning strategies remain relevant to validate emerging technologies and should continue to be incorporated in practice, particularly for cervical cancer. Overall, technological developments need commissioning and validation to make the best use of the advanced features by understanding their strengths and limitations. Brachytherapy has become high-tech and modern by respecting tradition and remaining accessible to all.

Jpn J Clin Oncol 2023; 53:179-181. [PMID: 36373890 DOI: 10.1093/jjco/hyac171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Accepted: 10/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Compared with the European or the United States' uterine cervical cancer management guidelines, which aim to deliver >85 Gy EQD2 (the equivalent effective dose in 2 Gy per fraction) to the high-risk clinical target volume (CTVHR) D90 (minimal dose of 90% of the CTVHR), the dose goal of the corresponding Japanese guidelines does not recommend delivering such a high dose to the CTVHR D90. Subsequently, while the rate of late radiation-induced toxicities is reported to be much lower in the Japanese schedule, the local control rate is relatively inferior to that of clinical results reported by the IntErnational study on MRI-guided BRAchytherapy in CErvical cancer study (EMBRACE-I) in which the dose goal for CTVHR D90 was >85 Gy and showed >90% local control regardless of tumor stage. In daily clinical practice, patients with residual disease supposedly due to insufficient total dose delivery are occasionally referred to our hospital for the possibility of re-irradiation, which is not usually recommended because the risk of late severe radiation-induced toxicity is high. In this report, the authors hope to raise a discussion in our community about modifying our treatment guidelines to recommend a higher dose at least for patients with poor response.
