摘要
This Viewpoint compares multicatheter brachytherapy with other forms of partial breast irradiation. As the forerunner of other ABPI techniques, interstitial brachytherapy has to its credit the best intermediate-term to long-term oncological and cosmetic results, and to its discredit some of the highest recurrence and complication rates. Enhancements to quality assurance and patient selection criteria could hold the key to best practice.
