Description

Increased complexity of interventional radiotherapy (brachytherapy - BT) treatment planning and quality control procedures has led to the need of a specific training. However, the details of the features of BT learning objectives and their distribution in the training paths of the Italian Radiation Oncology Schools are not known. This paper aims to provide the actual 'state-of-the-art' of BT education in Italy and to stimulate the debate on this issue.
