Abstract

Brachytherapy is one of the methods of radiotherapy allowing to deliver a highly effective radiation dose to a tumor through a minimally invasive intervention. Depending on the source, brachytherapy can be low- and high-energy. The article describes the main stages of development of prostate cancer brachytherapy both in Russia and abroad. The main methods of brachytherapy used in modern medicine are described. References to recommendations of the leading radiological organizations on low-energy brachytherapy are provided. The main indications and counterindications for brachytherapy for treatment of prostate cancer using low-energy sources are described. Summary data on the effectiveness of the method depending on prostate cancer prognosis are presented. The results of using low-energy brachytherapy at the branches of the National Medical Research Center of Radiology of the Ministry of Health of Russia are described.
