Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Various treatment modalities are available for treatment of ocular tumors, which include chemotherapy, laser, and radiotherapy (external beam radiation therapy or brachytherapy). Brachytherapy using plaque applicator is preferred over external beam radiation therapy when the tumor is well localized, as this therapy delivers radiation dose to the tumor with lower doses to normal tissues in the vicinity. However, plaque therapy is expensive and beyond the reach of many poor patients in India. The Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC) recently introduced an indigenous Ruthenium-106 plaque to make brachytherapy treatment available and affordable to all needy patients in India. In the present case series, we report our experience using the indigenous Ru-106 plaque for the treatment of a spectrum of ocular tumors.
摘要:
各种治疗方式可用于治疗眼部肿瘤,其中包括化疗,激光,和放射疗法(外照射放射治疗或近距离放射治疗)。当肿瘤定位良好时,使用斑块涂药器的近距离放射治疗优于外部束放射治疗,因为这种疗法向肿瘤提供辐射剂量,向附近的正常组织提供较低剂量。然而,牙菌斑治疗费用昂贵,印度许多贫困患者无法承受。Bhabha原子研究中心(BARC)最近推出了一种本地Ruthenium-106斑块,以使印度所有有需要的患者都可以接受近距离放射治疗。在本案系列中,我们报告了我们使用本土Ru-106斑块治疗一系列眼部肿瘤的经验。
