Resumo
The term cancer refers to a set of malignant diseases that have in common the disordered
growth of mutated cells, which can invade adjacent tissues or distant organs[1]. In 2020,
cancer of the central nervous system (CNS) represented 1.6% of all new malignant tumor
cases in the world, and about 2.5% of all new cancer deaths[2]. A promising radioactive
source for use in intracavitary brachytherapy is phosphorus-32. This source has been
prominent as a minimally invasive treatment for craniopharyngiomas and in the treatment
of metastatic bone diseases in general[3]. To encapsulate phosphorus-32 and make it a
viable radioactive source for use in medicine, some methods have emerged. In this work, we
are developing a fabric soaked in industrial latex for this purpose, as this source comes in
the form of orthophosphoric acid in aqueous solution and as industrial latex is soluble in
water. Tests carried out so far show that the material supports orthophosphoric acid while
is still malleable, which is essential for treating spinal cancer.
