This is a made easy summary of ICRU 89 guidelines for gynecological brachytherapy. Extra practical questions for MD/DNB Radiotherapy exams are also attached.
Robust Challenges of Bladder Protocol management ,Knowledge & UnderstandingSubrata Roy
Bladder protocol is routinely used for patients undergoing pelvic radiation to reduce radiation enteritis. It is very difficult to maintain constant volume, especially in the last two weeks due to radiation enteritis and cystitis
1.Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)
SRS is a precise and focused delivery of a single, high dose of irradiation to a small and critically located intracranial volume while sparing normal structure
2.Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)
SBRT is a treatment procedure similar to SRS, except that it deals extra-cranial radiosurgery
3.Flattening Filter Free (FFF) mode
FFF beam is produced without the use of flattening Filter
In the 1990s, several groups studied about FFF high-energy photon beams. The main interest for that, is to increase the dose rate for radiosurgery or the "physics interest”.
Need of increase in dose rate from traditional 300-600 to 1400-2400MU/min to overcome time-inefficiency and to improve patients comfort specially in SRS/SBRT

Mind the Gap: Dealing with Interruptions in Radiotherapy TreatmentVictor Ekpo
A review of guidance on compensatory steps to take due to unscheduled interruptions in patient radiotherapy treatment, due to patient illness, staff illness or machine breakdown.
Interruptions are quite often. Different centres in different literature have quoted from 6 up to 63% of patients experience interruption. To reduce the risk of cancer recurrence, the Medical Physicist needs to calculate and determine compensatory action in dose, number of fraction or other action required.

LDR and HDR Brachytherapy: A Primer for non radiation oncologistsSantam Chakraborty
A small presentation I made for a 30 minutes class comparing and contrasting LDR and HDR brachytherapy. Good for a person with non radiation oncology background to grasp the basics.

Trimodal Management of Locally Invasive Urinary Bladder CancerNainaAnon
To evaluate the response of the modern bladder-preservation treatment modality; Trimodal Therapy (TMT) in Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC). Aiming at bladder preservation in MIBC, TMT was to offer a quality- of-life advantage and avoid potential morbidity and mortality of Radical Cystectomy (RC) without compromising oncologic outcomes.
