A new technique of high dose rate intracavitary brachytherapy is introduced for treating patients with early and superficial squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule. This method is illustrated by a case report. A customized intranasal mould was fabricated in which afterloading catheters were placed. These catheters were loaded with a high activity 192Ir pointsource, using the HDR-microSelectron. In this way the patient was treated twice daily over 5 days without hospitalization. The indications for the use of this technique and the advantages in comparison with low dose rate interstitial irradiation are discussed.
介绍了一种高剂量率腔内近距离放射治疗新技术，用于治疗鼻前庭早期浅表性鳞状细胞癌患者。通过一例病例报告对该方法进行说明。制作了定制的鼻内模具，在其中放置后装导管。使用高剂量率微型Selectron将这些导管装入高活度192铱点源。通过这种方式，患者在5天内每天接受两次治疗，无需住院。讨论了该技术的使用指征以及与低剂量率组织间照射相比的优势。
