T K Gosselin1, J S Waring.   

Abstract

Brachytherapy is a form of radiation therapy used to treat a variety of cancers. Patients undergoing gynecological brachytherapy face a variety of physical, emotional, and psychosocial issues. Nurses caring for patients receiving high-dose rate or low-dose rate brachytherapy must be knowledgeable about radiation therapy principles and technology and the acute and chronic side effects that patients may experience.
