目的：设计一种用于通过高剂量率 (HDR) 近距离放射治疗治疗上牙龈 (UGC) 肿瘤的施药器。方法和材料：制作了带有四个 6-Fr 导管的定制模具。成对导管的两半形成一个没有尖锐曲线的功能环。结果：确保了肿瘤表面的足够剂量。结论：基于模具的 HDR 近距离放射治疗似乎非常适合 UGC。 (c) 2008 年美国近距离放射治疗协会。由爱思唯尔公司出版。保留所有权利。
PURPOSE: To design an applicator for the treatment of tumors of the upper gum (UGCs) with high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy.METHODS AND MATERIALS: A customized mold with four 6-Fr catheters was built. The two halves of the paired catheters form a functional loop without sharp curves.RESULTS: An adequate dose to the surface of the tumor is ensured.CONCLUSIONS: Mold-based HDR brachytherapy seems ideally suited for UGCs.
