Join us for our next Physics Journal Club, where we’ll explore an exciting advancement in HDR brachytherapy safety: Development of a Prototype Intraoperative Safety Device for HDR Brachytherapy Channel Verification. Modern brachytherapy afterloaders can support up to 50 channels, making accurate catheter-to-channel matching essential for safe and effective treatment. Incorrect connections remain a challenging failure mode—one that can compromise target coverage and increase dose to healthy tissue. In this session, we’ll review a prototype template attachment designed to detect erroneous catheter connections before delivery, offering clinicians an added layer of intraoperative assurance.

Prostate cancer treatment is shifting toward ultra-hypofractionation. But which is superior: the procedural precision of HDR Monotherapy or the non-invasive efficiency of SBRT?
Join the ABS Resident Prostate Journal Club for an evidence-based breakdown of the latest 10-year prospective data. We will compare long-term biochemical control rates, analyze acute vs. late toxicities, and discuss the "vanishing art" of brachytherapy in the modern era of hypofractionated radiation.
