Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2017 Brachytherapy is a radiotherapy modality associated with a highly focal dose distribution. Brachytherapy treats the cancer tissue from the inside, and the radiation does not travel through healthy tissue to reach the target as with external beam radiotherapy techniques.

Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases, 1998 In recent years there has been an increase in the number of centres, especially in the USA, using prostate brachytherapy as a means of treating localised prostate cancer. Several centres now have medium term follow up data of large numbers of patients treated with this technique suggesting that outcome in terms of tumour control may be comparable to ...

- In Vivo Dosimetry in Brachytherapy [PDF]
, 2012 As discussed in the following sections, in vivo dosimetry has been utilized for dierent purposes during the radiation therapy of cancer patients. Initially, this technique was used to verify dose to the organs adjacent to the implanted volume. However, verications of the accuracy of the treatment delivery for complex treatment techniques have been ...

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2008
The demand for anaesthesia in brachytherapy is increasing. Patients often present with high-risk factors and multiple comorbidities. To achieve a stable position of the implants, immobility is often mandatory. Duration of brachytherapy varies greatly and may exceed the duration of single-shot regional anaesthesia.
