Abstract

To demonstrate the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of dose escalation to intraprostatic lesions with MRI-transrectal ultrasound fusion High-Dose-Rate (HDR) brachytherapy. 15 patients with intermediate-high risk prostate cancer and visible dominant intra-prostatic nodule on mpMRI have been treated. The treatment consisted of combined MRI-TRUS fusion HDR-brachytherapy (1 fraction of 1500cGy) and hypofractionated external beam (3750cGy in 15 fractions). A dose of 1875Gy was delivered to at least 98% of the DIL volume. Median prostate volume was 23.8cc; median number of needles was 16 (13-18). Dose escalation to DIL was feasible in 14/15 patients (93%) without violating dosimetric constraints and 1 patient presented a minimal deviation of dosimetric restrictions. With a median follow-up of 18months (17-24), none of the patients developed acute urinary retention or grade ⩾3 toxicity. In addition to standard PSA follow-up, response has been assessed by mpMRI at 12months. All patients presented adequate morphological responses on anatomical and functional sequences. HDR brachytherapy using MRI-transrectal ultrasound fusion for image guidance is a suitable technique for partial prostate dose escalation. Tolerance and toxicity pro...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
