Application of Brachytherapy in Clinical Practice: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Interventional radiotherapy (brachytherapy) started after the discovery of radium by Maria Slodowoska Curie, and, at present, has clear indications for treatment in almost tumour sites. The present Special Issue is one of the few publications dedicated to interventional radiotherapy in Europe.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present all the relevant clinical aspects of brachytherapy in all the tumour sites in a review or article format, considering future perspectives. To this end, clinical and medical brachytherapists work together with very specialised medical physicists, who are indispensable for the techniques’ evolution.

The submission of innovative clinical works in clinical practice and in physics, considering all the tumour sites is encouraged. Contributions exploring biological biomarkers and omics’ brachytherapy, as well Montecarlo aspects in vivo dosimetry, among others, are welcome.

We are soliciting reviews and original articles, and look forward to receiving your contributions.
