Brachytherapy offers targeted radiation for brain tumors, sparing healthy tissue. It remains a viable treatment option for various brain tumor types, despite advancements in other techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Brachytherapy provides high-dose radiation to brain tumors.
  • It spares surrounding healthy brain tissue.
  • It is used for primary, adjuvant, or recurrent brain tumors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the radiobiology of brachytherapy.
  • To outline brachytherapy procedures and clinical applications.
  • To review outcomes of brachytherapy for brain tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Review of brachytherapy techniques (high dose rate, low dose rate, intracavitary).
  • Discussion of combining brachytherapy with other modalities like hyperthermia.
  • Analysis of brachytherapy's role in managing malignant gliomas, astrocytomas, meningiomas, metastases, and pediatric brain tumors.
