Dosimetric and therapeutic effectiveness of high-dose-rate radionuclide sources in breast cancer brachytherapy: A systematic review.
High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is a widely used treatment modality for breast cancer, providing highly localized radiation delivery with improved normal tissue sparing. The choice of radionuclide source plays an important role in determining dosimetric characteristics and the available evidence for clinical effectiveness.
