Combined interstitial and surface high-dose-rate brachytherapy treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the hand.

abstract：PURPOSE:Groupe Européen de Curiethérapie (GEC) and European Society for Radiotherapy & Oncology (ESTRO) has proposed a rectal dose constraint of the most exposed 2-cc volume (D2cc of ≤ 75 Gy EQD2α/β = 3) during external-beam plus high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) in localized prostate cancer patients. This study ai...
