Multimodal therapy of anal cancer added by new endosonographic-guided brachytherapy

Abstract: TRUS-guided brachytherapy permits excellent local tumor control and results in minimal treatment-related morbidity. Consequently, TRUS-guided brachytherapy may be a useful addition to current combined modality treatment regimens for anal cancer.

“…The results of the present study indicate that using 3D endosonography guidance may be a useful tool in this respect. The present study is a modification of the ultrasound guidance procedure used previously by us and others (8) (without 3D ultrasound assessment), but the study is too small to give any indication about change in recurrence rate and complication rate after interstitial brachytherapy, and such a study would also require a comparison between two procedures.…”

“…Sin embargo, el manejo conservador supone un retraso en el inicio de la alimentación oral. Las endoprótesis recubiertas, utilizadas habitualmente como tratamiento paliativo para estenosis malignas, se han empleado de forma reciente en el manejo conservador de perforaciones esofágicos y dehiscencias tras gastroplastia/coloplastias [1][2][3][4][5] .…”

“…En las series publicadas la tasa de cierre es elevada (70-100%), con una morbilidad aproximada del 30%. Se han descrito múltiples complicaciones asociadas al uso de endoprótesis como la sensación de cuerpo extraño, sangrado, persistencia de la fístula, migración y estenosis post-extracción 3,[5][6][7][8] . La persistencia puede deberse a una malposición o medidas inadecuadas de la prótesis, y puede solucionarse mediante la recolocación o una nueva prótesis más larga o ancha.…”

“…Improved catheter placement may be achieved by the use of advanced imaging techniques such as 3D endoluminal ultrasound. 164, 165 Papillon described an LDR boost using 192 Ir to deliver 20 to 30 Gy in 221 patients 2 months after completing EBRT. LC rates were comparable to surgical techniques.…”
