This volume is the first truly international text to take the practitioner from the history, the physical basis, and the rationale of brachytherapy through to the techniques, the results, and the management of complications.

Each chapter incorporates the American and European guidelines and the text has been written from both perspectives by many of the most noted global experts in the field.
A concluding chapter is devoted to brachytherapy quality assurance.
