Clinical Experience with Different Interstitial Hyperthermia Techniques

  • Chapter
Interstitial Hyperthermia

Abstract

Modern brachytherapy procedures were designed and developed in France by Pierquin and Chassagne (1966–1967) using iridium 192. The use of polyethylene tubes adapted for afterloading techniques has greatly simplified brachytherapy, allowing better implantations covering larger volumes, which explains its present success.
