Advancement of high-precision high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy

Not only curative treatment but also palliative care

We have been advancing the precision of high-dose-rate (HDR) interstitial brachytherapy. We use the third-generation remote afterloading system, MicroSelectron-HDR. In addition to curative treatment, we are also engaged in palliative therapy.
