Comparison of integral doses to normal tissue and organs at risk between interstitial high-dose-rate brachytherapy and modern external-beam radiotherapy techniques in breast and head and neck cancer patients
For patients with breast and head and neck cancer, interstitial BT results in lower integral dose to normal tissue and OARs compared to modern EBRT techniques. The clinical implications require further detailed investigation.
