The Physics of Brachytherapy,Just as the right arm of the radiation oncologist is the medical physicist, so the heart of brachytherapy is the science of physics. In this chapter we introduce the basics of brachytherapy physics beginning with the core of the science and culminating with a comprehensive presentation of the known science to date.

Thoracic BrachytherapyBrachytherapy for thoracic malignancies provides localized intrathoracic delivery of high-dose targeted radiotherapy, which can be very potent as a primary treatment, an adjuvant treatment, or a salvage treatment. We present our experience, data, and recommendations in this regard.
