Abstract

The term brachytherapy derives from the Greek brachos (short), signifying a technique based on a short distance of delivery. In this case, it also relates to delivery of radiation therapy. This chapter will review the concept, history, indications, technique, results, and complications, as well as the benefit/risk ratio as they apply to the treatment of lung processes which can be reached endoscopically, with the help and guidance of a bronchoscope.
