Interstitial hyperthermia and interstitial Iridium 192 implantation: a technique and preliminary results
- 1. City of Hope National Medical Center, Duarte, CA
Description
A simple technique using interstitial hyperthermia in combination with interstitial Iridium 192 implantation is described in detail. This technique was initially tested on swine and later successfully tested on seven patients. The preliminary results of the City of Hope Interstitial Hyperthermia Pilot protocol are stated. The authors feel that this simple technique could be used by any radiation oncologist while performing interstitial implants in selected sites
