Soft tissue sarcoma typically requires a multifaceted approach to treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Brachytherapy, a specialized type of radiation therapy, has gained prominence for its precision in targeting cancerous cells while sparing healthy tissue. The successful procedure follows a rigorous protocol, beginning with accurate diagnosis and evaluation, meticulous treatment planning, and the precise implantation of radioactive sources into the tumor or tumor bed. This procedure embodies the synergy of advanced medical technology, skilled healthcare professionals, and patient determination. Brachytherapy, with its ability to deliver highly focused radiation, reduce collateral damage, and potentially shorten treatment duration, offers several advantages in treating soft tissue sarcoma.

Happy to share our RCT comparing IMRT alone Vs IMRT+ Brachytherapy for T1-T2N0M0 oropharyngeal cancers. Brachytherapy results in a significant reduction of xerostomia! Thank you @RadOncTMC, @TataMemorial for all the support and the entire team for the efforts over a decade!!
