Abstract
Patients with primary tumor progression after stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have a second chance at complete tumor eradication with salvage local therapies, including lung resection, repeat course of SBRT, and percutaneous ablative therapies. In this paper, we presented our institution’s initial experience with percutaneous high-dose-rate (HDR) brachyablation for a relapsed stage I NSCLC that had been treated with SBRT 4.3 years earlier. Lung tumor measuring approximately 5 cm in maximum tumor dimension at the time of relapse was histopathologically confirmed to be persistent squamous cell carcinoma, and successfully treated with a single fraction of 24 Gy with HDR brachyablation. Treatment was delivered via two percutaneous catheters inserted under CT-guidance, and treated in less than 20 minutes. The patient was discharged home later the same day without the need for a chest tube, and has been monitored with serial surveillance scans every 3 to 6 months without evidence of further lung cancer progression or complications at 2.8 years post-HDR brachyablation procedure and 7.8 years after initial SBRT.
期刊介绍:
The “Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy” is an international and multidisciplinary journal that will publish papers of original research as well as reviews of articles. Main subjects of the journal include: clinical brachytherapy, combined modality treatment, advances in radiobiology, hyperthermia and tumour biology, as well as physical aspects relevant to brachytherapy, particularly in the field of imaging, dosimetry and radiation therapy planning. Original contributions will include experimental studies of combined modality treatment, tumor sensitization and normal tissue protection, molecular radiation biology, and clinical investigations of cancer treatment in brachytherapy. Another field of interest will be the educational part of the journal.
