Brachytherapy consists of placing radioactive sources within, or directly adjacent to a tumor, and is a means of delivering highly targeted and conformal radiation. While its history dates back to the origins of the field, in recent years brachytherapy treatment paradigms have been evolving considerably.

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 2001
High-dose rate endobronchial brachytherapy is a well-tolerated out-patient procedure that provides a high likelihood for durable palliation of symptoms associated with endobronchial tumor. The most significant associated toxicity is late massive hemoptysis, the risk for which can be minimized by careful treatment planning and limiting the size of the ...

Brachytherapy involves the placement of radioactive sources within or very close to the tumor. This placement allows a high dose of radiotherapy to be delivered to the tumor while sparing the surrounding normal tissue. The delivery of brachytherapy has changed markedly over the years, with newer radioactive sources making delivery safer, image guidance

The American Brachytherapy Society consensus statement for electronic brachytherapy
Brachytherapy, 2019Brachytherapy is utilized in the treatment of many different malignancies; although traditionally performed with low-dose-rate or high-dose-rate techniques, more recently, electronic brachytherapy (EB) has emerged as a potential alternative. At this time, there are no evidence-based guidelines to assist clinicians in patient selection for EB and ...

AbstractIncreasing lung cancer mortality has created renewed interest in the bronchoscopic use of isotopes for palliation of recurrent airway carcinomas. In the first part of this paper we report our clinical experience with iodine‐125 implantation for treatment of endobronchial carcinomas in 18 patients followed until death.

Brachytherapy: Update and results
Current Prostate Reports, 2003Prostate cancer is the most common noncutaneous malignancy and the second most common cause of cancer mortality in American men. Treatment options for these patients include radical prostatectomy, external beam radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, and prostate brachytherapy.

The benefits and problems of applying brachytherapy to breast cancer management are examined in this article. A history of breast brachytherapy is provided before the uses of brachytherapy in breast cancer are discussed, using several trials as examples. Techniques and tips for implementing brachytherapy are provided and dosimetry is discussed.

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on brachytherapy. The placement of radioactive material directly into or immediately adjacent to such volumes has been used successfully since radioactivity was first discovered. The advantage of this method is that very high doses can be delivered in a short time to small volumes without the delivery of ...
