    Brachytherapy has seen a resurgence due to new isotopes like Iridium-192 and Iodine-125, improved dosimetry, and refined techniques. This review details brachytherapy methods and outcomes for breast, prostate, and head and neck cancers.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Medical Physics

    Background:

    • Brachytherapy has experienced a significant revival over the past two decades.
    • Advancements include new isotopes for interstitial implants and sophisticated dosimetry.
    • Refined implantation techniques have also played a crucial role in this renaissance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present detailed brachytherapy implantation techniques and outcomes.
    • Focus on the three most commonly treated carcinomas: breast, prostate, and head and neck.
    • To describe other anatomical sites amenable to interstitial irradiation.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of brachytherapy techniques and outcomes at Stanford Medical Center.
    • Utilizes removable (Iridium-192) and permanent (Iodine-125) interstitial implants.
