Abstract
- A recent study conducted at Stanford University has developed a 3D-printed vaginal individualized applicator (VIA) that simplifies interstitial gynecologic brachytherapy procedures. The VIA contains individualized internal channels that guide interstitial needles to cover the tumor extent. The study found that the VIA reduced procedure time by approximately 47% and maintained excellent dosimetry. It was particularly beneficial for patients with large tumors or small vaginal canals. The research concluded that the VIA can be customized for various clinical scenarios. [Extracted from the article]
