## 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
## BACKGROUND. Clinical results of external beam radiation therapy (RT) with or without intraluminal brachytherapy (IBT) for patients with superficial esophageal carcinoma were evaluated retrospectively. Between 1985 and 1996, 21 patients with superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were tr
High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is a rapidly growing technique that has been replacing low-dose-rate (LDR) procedures over the last few years in both industrialised and developing countries. It is estimated that about 500,000 procedures (administrations of treatment) are performed by HDR units an
## Purpose. To determine if a single intraoperative high-dose-rate brachytherapy (IOHDR) dose can be used in conjunction with low dose external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to treat soft tissue malignancies in children with reduced morbidity. Methods. From March 1992 to February 1995, six pediatr
