Experience in multicatheter interstitial high-dose-rate breast brachytherapy: dose-volume histogram analysis of the first results.

Conclusions: This study is the first stage of the dosimetric evaluation of a new method. The analysis allows treating complex localizations of the breast cancer, for example, in a close position to the skin or ribs. In order to minimize the toxic effects, it is necessary to consider patient selection, catheter administration, and dose optimization. PMID: 31523236 [PubMed]
