Interstitial Techniques

Vagina

Conclusions

• Interstitial techniques

when inappropriate coverage (topographic and dosimetric) with

pure intracavitary techniques

• Several

approaches (applicators,guidance)

available

• Several pre-conditions for implementation (equipment, experience – specialized

centres)

• Adaptation of the application technique to the

topography

at the time of

brachytherapy

• A good portion of cases can be treated with

simple techniques

• Tasks: control over placement / few needles / MRI Based Treatment Planning

• Larger clinical data with Image Based Approach: essential
