How can you cure cervical cancer? Because you have a gross mass present, you only can give 4500 centigrade to 5000 centigrade to the pelvis, how do we give enough radiation to kill a cancer that is on the cervix. That is done by what we call brachy therapy and brachy therapy is giving a high dose of radiation directly to the cancer and these are the implants. Modern day implants are based on what we call the Manchester system. Historically what we used to do in Stockholm, we used to put two radiation sources right against the cervix at tandem and give very high doses of radiation therapy to the tumor over a day and then remove it and were able to cure the cancer. The only problem here was that the complication rate was extremely high. Because of that, the Manchester system was developed in England where we gave an implant where the implant would deliver a low dose of radiation over an extended period of time and with a tandem containing radiation sources in the uterus, thereby killed the cancer yet minimized the complications. Modern day implants are based on what we call the Fletcher Suit system, this is an implant and in the Fletcher Suit system, what we do is we place two ovoids, and a tandem in the uterus. Each of these ovoids have a radiation source in them, the tandem have anywhere from two to three sources in them, but to calculate the dose, what you have to realize is that the radiation dose falls what we call by inverse square, so subsequently what happens is that if you look at 2 cm lateral to the cervix, what we call point A, the dose delivered from an implant is only one-fourth or inverse square of the distance. If you look at point B, point B is 3 cm further than point A or 5 cm from the external os, the dose delivered is 1/25th the dose of the implant. What is significant about point A is point A is the perimetria and that’s where the parametrial nodes are. Those are the most common nodes that are positive with a cervical cancer. Point B is the obturator nodes. Anatomically, what’s important about point A, is that’s where the uterine artery goes over the ureter, and that’s the reason often you can see a ureteral stricture secondary to an implant.

The radiation sources used for an implant nowadays are cesium, cesium 137 is used and has a half life of 30 years, so it’s not necessary to calculate the dose with regard to the radiation implant every year, because these are long lived isotopes. We used to use radium or radium 226, the problem with radium 226, it has a very long half life of 1620 years, but in addition, in it’s decay, gave off radon gas and when the sources would crack, radon gas would be given off and became a health hazard to the personnel in the hospital, causing lung cancers. This is a Fletcher Suit implant, what you see here, is the ovoids which fit into the fornices and the tandem which contains radiation sources that are placed within the uterine cavity. To determine whether an implant is in it’s right position, x-ray films are taken and here you can see the ovoids as well as the tandem. The problem you have here, is you don’t know if it’s placed correctly. To determine that, a lateral film is taken and as you can see here, here is the tandem and here are the ovoids, what you are concerned about is that tandem is right angle to the ovoids, its not twisted which causes complications, secondly, is that each of these radiation sources in the tandem do not cross the sources in the ovoids because if that does happen, what your doing to the patient, is causing a hot spot and thereby having the possibility of causing either a rectovaginal or vesicovaginal fistula, so if you get called and the radiation oncologist isn’t around and this tandem is twisted or you see it pulled back, the proper thing is to call the radiation oncologist, have the sources taken out and take the implant out. When you have an indentation, what you are basically doing is you have the potential of the cancer recurring. Cheap soma without prescription.
Occasionally, in a morbidly obese patient, who has endometrial cancer, what the radiation oncologist will do is place Hayman capsules. What Hayman capsules are, are small radiation sources that usually contain cesium that are 5 to 10 mg of cesium, they place the sources actually into the uterus to radiate the surface of the uterus. The problem here clinically is that the ability to cure the cancer decreases about 15 to 20%. So when we give radiation therapy, our goal is to give external beam radiation therapy 4000 to 4500 centigrade and implant given to point A, an additional 40 to 45 gray or 4000 to 4500 giving a total dose, when you get the total dose you will add the external beam radiation therapy, the intracavitary implant and you get 80 to 85 gray to point A or 8000 to 8500 centigrade to point A. That is the dose you will would like to achieve to point A. With ovarian cancer occasionally, usually with an early stage ovarian cancer we’ll go ahead and use P32. What P32 is, is an isotope that is a colloidal suspension, or a fine particulate matter that is given into the peritoneal cavity, what P32 does, is it radiates the entire pelvic and abdominal cavity but with very low energy radiation, it delivers what we call a gamma ray as you have with x-ray and implants, it delivers beta energy. The problem with P32, it doesn’t distribute adequately and secondly, it’s depth of penetration, unlike x-ray therapy is very low, it penetrates only 1 to 3 mm in depth and that’s the reason it’s good only for microscopic disease.
