This textbook-quality proceedings will aid experienced radiation oncology physicists in implementing unfamiliar brachytherapy treatment modalities in their clinics. The first section of the book emphasizes the fundamental physical and biological principles underlying the application of sealed radioactive sources to cancer therapy, including quality assurance. The regulatory environment is also reviewed. The next two sections cover practical treatment planning, dose specification, and clinical applications of interstitial and intracavitary brachytherapy. Section IV covers the application of afterloading technology to both low and high dose-rate brachytherapy. The remaining chapters deal with quality assurance, treatment planning and development of treatment systems for various clinical sites. Also described are recent advances in basic dosimetry, treatment planning, quality assurance, radiation safety, and dosimetric and biologic principles underlying brachytherapy.

This monograph, Recent Advances in Brachytherapy Physics, is published by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) to up-date one of the earliest forms of radiation therapy. Brachytherapy, the use of contact or implanted radioactive sources, is still an important modality in the treatment of cancer. The discussion of new Brachytherapy sources together with new instruments, techniques, and applicators makes this monograph a useful reference for radiation therapy physicists and physicians.

Brachytherapy has become the modality of choice for several cancer localizations, minimizing the possibility of unacceptable risks for healthy tissues and providing a more cost-effective and convenient treatment for patients. Written by leading experts in the physics, development, and implementation of brachytherapy, The Physics of Modern Brachytherapy for Oncology discusses the subject in detail, covering its definition, the basic physics of radiation interaction with matter, radionuclides, sources and source production, calibration and dosimetry protocols as well as experimental dosimetry methods appropriate for practical use. Logically organized, the book begins with basic information, including quantities and units, followed by fundamental atomic and nuclear physics. It also provides the historical background of brachytherapy physics. The next several chapters discuss the radionuclides used in brachytherapy, reflecting upon past (radium), present (iridium or cobalt), and future (ytterbium) methods. The book proceeds to examine source calibration and dosimetry protocols for dose rate calculation while the final chapters explore more recent processes, including Monte Carlo-aided, experimental, and gel dosimetry. The appendices provide useful tables of isotopes, unit conversions and physical constants, brachytherapy sources, TG-43 and TG-43 U1 data tables, and dose rate tables. Detailing the physics behind brachytherapy treatment, The Physics of Modern Brachytherapy for Oncology is essential reading for researchers, practicing radiation oncologists, and medical physicists who want to keep abreast of the developments in this changing field as well as for postgraduate students in medical physics.
