• Fixed, adjustable components

• Smaller channel diameters

• Main types of intracavitary applicators:

• Tandem & ring (Stockholm style)

• Tandem & ovoids (Manchester or Fletcher style)

• Mould technique

• Intracavitary technique alone:

• limited possibility for D adaptation

• Interstitial boost recommended for unfavourable topography
