Design of the novel ThermoBrachy applicators enabling simultaneous interstitial hyperthermia and high dose rate brachytherapy

Objective: In High Dose Rate Brachytherapy for prostate cancer there is a need for a new way of increasing cancer cell kill in combination with a stable dose to the organs at risk. In this study, we propose a novel ThermoBrachy applicator that offers the unique ability to apply interstitial hyperthe...
