Endoesophageal Brachytherapy for Patients With Esophageal Cancer: A Balloon Repositioning, Multichannel Radiation Applicator for Optimizing Treatment Delivery
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Endoesophageal Brachytherapy for Esophageal Cancer. Completed, enrolled 7 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Depending upon the cancer stage, esophageal cancer can be treated with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these modalities. Sometimes in addition to external radiation therapy or instead of external radiation therapy, select patients with esophageal cancer may benefit from localized radiation to the tumor, called esophageal brachytherapy. There are many different radiation techniques and delivery approaches for this type of specialized radiation therapy, and the purpose of this document is to provide a written summary of an innovative delivery method.
