A systematic review of treating recurrent head and neck cancer: a reintroduction of brachytherapy with or without surgery.

Conclusions: Although surgery remains a mainstay treatment for RHNC, intraoperative interstitial brachytherapy delivery as adjunctive therapy may improve the treatment outcome and may be associated with fewer complication rates as compared to reirradiation using external beam radiotherapy. Further investigations are required to elucidate the role of brachytherapy for RHNC. PMID: 30479623 [PubMed]
