Abstract
A novel HDR applicator system, Expanding Multi-Lumen Applicator Operating within a Balloon, has been designed and patented to treat gynecological and other cancers with following specific goals in mind: 1) Provide the ability to do volumetric image based patient specific dosimetry, 2) ability to significantly spare the surrounding critical structures, 3) moving away from Manchester point calculation and computing target based dose instead, and 4) provide patient more comfort. It is expected that this system will provide all the functionality of Fletcher-Suit Delclos (FSD) and “Tandem and Ring” devices and has more versatility in treatment of these cancers.
