May support brachytherapy with surgery for sarcoma local control; leaves open optimal use pending prospective trials.
The article presents an analysis of publications on the effectiveness of brachytherapy in the soft tissue sarcomas. It has been shown that this method is an important part of the combined treatment of this pathology and the indications for its use are constantly expanding. The authors point to a high level of local control of the disease (from 50 to 96 % of cases). The greatest effectiveness of brachytherapy is observed in combination with surgical tumor removal.
