“…LDR and HDR brachytherapy have produced similar results in three intramural studies with local control rates in the 90-95% range and similar toxicity [28][29][30]. Guinot et al compared 99 LDR cases and 104 HDR cases with similar local control (95%) but fewer complications using HDR and no case of bone or soft tissue necrosis in the last group [31]. PDR is effective with local control of 94% [32] Most cases are treated with brachytherapy alone although elective cervical treatment should be considered in lip tumors larger than 2 cm or with skin or commissure involvement [33].…”

“…6,65,78,84,85 A thorough literature review on this topic suggests that appropriate use of any of the 4 major radiation modalities results in similar local control and cosmetic outcome. 3,4,9,28,31,[64][65][66]68,[72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][86][87][88] Thus, the decision of which modality and fractionation scheme to use should be based on both tumor characteristics (eg, shape, contour, depth, and location) and normal tissue considerations.…”

“…Due to the necessity of performing visually controlled application, brachytherapy in this area is only possible in case of lip cancer, oral cavity cancer, selected neoplasms of nasopharynx, nasal cavity and nasopharynx, as well as in case of repeated radiotherapy of nodular relapses in the head and neck area [7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]. …”
