A new implant device to prevent edema-associated underdosage in high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy of mobile tongue cancer

PURPOSE: Tongue edema is a potential cause of treatment target underdosage in high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDR-ISBT) of mobile tongue cancer. To prevent such edema-associated alteration of dosimetry, we developed a special silicon device. In this report we communicate our initial exper...
