A buccal mucosa carcinoma treated with high dose rate brachytherapy

This manuscript presents a case of early stage squamous cell carcinoma of the left buccal mucosa treated with intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) followed by a high‐dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy boost. With limited literature available on HDR mold (stent) radiotherapy for oral cancer, a dis...

Descripción
Sumario:This manuscript presents a case of early stage squamous cell carcinoma of the left buccal mucosa treated with intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) followed by a high‐dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy boost. With limited literature available on HDR mold (stent) radiotherapy for oral cancer, a discussion on the issues encountered during treatment planning and delivery may prove to be insightful for facilities faced with a similar challenge. PACS numbers: 87.53.Jw, 87.53.Tf, 87.59.Ci, 87.59.Fm
