Abstract
These data demonstrate that pulsed-dose-rate brachytherapy in combination with sequential chemotherapy is effective and safe in re-irradiation of locally recurrent oropharyngeal carcinomas and can be offered to patients with curative intent. Image guidance allows virtual planning and navigated implantation of brachytherapy needles with regard to optimized needle distribution and risk structures.
