Abstract:
Intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT) delivers radiation sources into the rectal cavity or near the tumor,providing high-dose,high-efficiency,low-toxicity,and low-cost radiotherapy.This article reviews the clinical efficacy and safety of two types of ICBT in organ preservation treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC),and discusses the potential advantages and challenges of ICBT in achieving organ preservation and improving patient quality of life.ICBT with or without external beam radiotherapy is an effective means of organ preservation treatment for LARC,but careful selection of suitable patients is still required.
