Анализ литературы свидетельствует об отсутствии отечественных публикаций, освещающих роль брахитерапии в лечении больных раком прямой кишки (РПК). Целью представленной работы явилась необходимость восполнить этот пробел и систематизировать имеющуюся информацию относительно различных аспектов клинического применения двух основных вариантов брахитерапии РПК.

Analysis of the literature indicates the absence of domestic publications on the role of brachytherapy in patients with rectal cancer (RC). The aim of the presented work was to fill this gap and systematize the available information on various aspects of the clinical application of the two main variants for RC brachytherapy.
