During the last decade, the organization of brachytherapy in France moved to 62 units in 173 radiotherapy centres in 2009. More than 7500 patients were treated in 2009, quite exclusively with curative intent, for 80% in public or associated hospitals. The techniques improved to high tech 3D dosimetry and optimization of the dose distribution. Brachytherapy, despite representing only 5% of the treatments by irradiation, is a reference treatment for several tumors.
在过去十年间,法国近距离放射治疗机构于2009年在173个放射治疗中心增至62个。2009年有超过7500名患者接受治疗,几乎全部是出于治愈目的,其中80%在公立或相关医院接受治疗。技术已提升至高科技三维剂量测定法及剂量分布优化。近距离放射治疗尽管仅占放射治疗的5%,却是几种肿瘤的参考治疗方法。
