ABSTRACT

Pancreatic cancer is a malignancy of great impact in developed countries and is having an increasing impact in Latin America. Incidence and mortality rates are similar for this cancer. This is an important reason to offer to the patients the best treatments available. During the Latin American Symposium of Gastroenterology Oncology (SLAGO) held in Viña del Mar, Chile, in April 2015, a multidisciplinary group of specialists in the field met to discuss about this disease. The main conclusions of this meeting, where practitioners from most of Latin American countries participated, are listed in this consensus that seek to serve as a guide for better decision making for patients with pancreatic cancer in Latin America.

ABSTRACT

La braquiterapia prostáatica ha sido mejorada técnicamente gracias a la incorporación de la ecografía transrectal. Así mismo, se ha evolucionado desde un sistema de preplanning con imagen axial monoplanar hasta el actual sistema que incorpora imágenes en tiempo real usando planos axiales y sagitales simultáneamente. Además, con el avance qque ha supuesto incorporar el análisis de distribución de dosis en tiempo real, es posible realizar ajustes de dosis intraoperatoriamente. Todos estos cambios pueden hacer que la braquiterapia prostática sea, algún día, el tratamiento de elección para los pacientes de bajo riesgo, e incluso para los de alto riesgo, en combinación con la hormonoterapia y/o la radioterpia externa.
