Authors' objectives:
Brachytherapy is a form of radiotherapy involving implantation of radioactive sources within the tumor bed, which allows delivery of high radiation doses directly to the tumor site with relative sparing of adjacent normal tissue. As treatment for breast cancer, it is used as an adjunct or alternative to external irradiation as a way of eliminating cancer cells, thereby achieving local tumor control and reducing the likelihood of local tumor recurrence.
