The biological rationale for the use of brachytherapy, which is undergoing a significant resurgence in the United States, is reviewed with emphasis on low dose rate (LDR brachytherapy). Some of the newer alternatives that have recently been developed, such as pulsed dose rate (PDR) brachytherapy, are discussed.
近距离放射治疗在美国正经历显著复兴，本文回顾了其生物学原理，重点是低剂量率（LDR）近距离放射治疗。文中还讨论了一些最近开发的较新的替代方法，如脉冲剂量率（PDR）近距离放射治疗。
