## Abstract Twentyβtwo patients were irradiated using two different dose schedules of intracavitary irradiation for palliation of locally advanced or metastatic carcinoma of the esophagus. Irradiation was given solely with either manually afterloaded low/Intermediate dose Cesiumβ137 (LDR) or high d
Radiotherapy is administered with the assumption that all patients respond similarly to radiation although radiosensitivity does vary from patient to patient, resulting in different degrees of early and late effects. Because the dose given to a patient is limited by the response of normal tissue in
Background. Recurrent head and neck malignancies are therapeutically challenging. Brachytherapy is a retreatment alternative to external-beam radiation therapy (EBRT). Methods. Patients receiving brachytherapy during 1987-2004 for recurrent head and neck cancer were identified. Tumor and treatment
