Interstitial and Intracavitary Thermoradiotherapy

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Radiat Oncol))

Abstract

Various strategies are employed to improve the efficiency of radiation and thereby increase its effect within tumors without transgressing the limits of normal tissue tolerance. The use of interstitial radiotherapy (IR) represents such a strategy. IR not only provides the physical advantage of a tailored dose distribution to the tumor volume but also has significant underlying radiobiological advantages.
