Modern development of high-dose-rate brachytherapy [PDF]
Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2020 AbstractBrachytherapy is an invasive therapy with placement of radiation source into or near the tumor. The difference between planning target volume and clinical target volume is minimal, and the dose out of the tumor reduces rapidly due to the inverse-square law.

High dose rate brachytherapy for oral cancer [PDF]
Journal of Radiation Research, 2012 Brachytherapy results in better dose distribution compared with other treatments because of steep dose reduction in the surrounding normal tissues. Excellent local control rates and acceptable side effects have been demonstrated with brachytherapy as a sole treatment modality, a postoperative method, and a method of reirradiation.
