Purpose:
To design an applicator for the treatment of tumors of the upper gum (UGCs) with high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy.
Methods And Materials:
A customized mold with four 6-Fr catheters was built. The two halves of the paired catheters form a functional loop without sharp curves.
Results:
An adequate dose to the surface of the tumor is ensured.
Conclusions:
Mold-based HDR brachytherapy seems ideally suited for UGCs.
