To identify the earliest practitioners of prostate brachytherapy.
Review of contemporary literature.
Radiotherapy has been used for benign prostatic ailments as early as 1902. Prostate cancer was first treated by teletherapy in 1904. Several urologists, in Paris and Vienna, applied intracavitary radium for prostate disease in 1908-1909. We present evidence that Henri Minet was the first to perform prostate brachytherapy, as early as 1908.
Brachytherapy has been used to treat prostate cancer for more than a century.
确定最早进行前列腺近距离放射治疗的从业者。
回顾当代文献。
早在1902年,放射疗法就已用于治疗良性前列腺疾病。1904年首次采用远距离放射疗法治疗前列腺癌。1908 - 1909年,巴黎和维也纳的几位泌尿科医生将腔内镭应用于前列腺疾病。我们提供的证据表明,亨利·米内早在1908年就首次进行了前列腺近距离放射治疗。
近距离放射疗法用于治疗前列腺癌已有一个多世纪。
