Zusammenfassung

Purpose: To prove the feasibility and the safety of endobronchial high dose radiation of inoperable peripheral tumors of the lung by catheter placement based on elctromagnetic navigation and endobronchial ultrasound. Methods and Materials: After localization of the lesion by electromagnetic navigation, confirmation of the position by endobronchial ultrasound and assessment of histology a brachytherapy catheter is placed via an extended working channnel, fixed at the nose and left in place for one week. The patient is transferred to the radiotherapy department. A total dose of 15Gy is applied by introducing an Ir…
