First-In-Human Phase 1 Study of a Nonwoven Fabric Bioabsorbable Spacer for Particle Therapy: Space-Making Particle Therapy (SMPT)

First-In-Human Phase 1 Study of a Nonwoven Fabric Bioabsorbable Spacer for Particle Therapy: Space-Making Particle Therapy (SMPT)

Purpose: Surgical spacer placement (SSP) is useful in particle therapy (PT) for patients with abdominal or pelvic tumors located adjacent to normal organs. We developed a nonwoven fabric bioabsorbable spacer made of polyglycolic acid (PGA) sutures that degrades via hydrolysis. We then conducted this...
