Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiotherapy
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Brachytherapy (BT) is a minimally invasive radiotherapy technique.
  • It involves implanting radioactive sources directly into or near tumors.
  • BT is explored for various lung cancer stages and treatment failures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent literature on brachytherapy for nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • To discuss the role of BT in early-stage, advanced, and recurrent lung cancer.
  • To highlight technological advancements impacting BT outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review based on PubMed publications.
  • Analysis of brachytherapy applications in NSCLC.
  • Discussion of endobronchial BT and radioactive seed implantation (RSI-BT).

Main Results:

  • BT can be an alternative curative treatment for early-stage lung cancer.
  • It can improve local control and survival in advanced NSCLC when used with EBRT.
  • BT serves as a salvage option for recurrent or residual lung cancer.

Conclusions:

  • Modern advancements like image guidance and 3D printing templates show promise for BT.
  • Further prospective studies are essential to validate clinical outcomes.
  • BT remains a valuable, albeit under-researched, modality for NSCLC management.
