Abstract
The combination of external beam radiotherapy with interstitial brachytherapy increases the dose to the tumor volume and limits the volume of irradiated normal tissue, thereby decreasing late toxicity. The use of image-based treatment planning provides better dose conformality with reduced toxicity and helps to prevent a geographic miss.
