Today active searches of effective method of malignant brain tumors treatment of that would be able to provide not only substantial increase of patients’ life-span but also improvement of it’s quality. Among radiation therapy methods brachytherapy occupies a separate place. The idea of radio-active sources delivery directly to the tumour looks promising. In spite of the fact that results of two randomize researches did not show patients’ survival substantial increase, brachytherapy is applied in many neurooncological centers of the world. The detailed analysis of last researches on questions of brachytherapy application was conducted. Testimonies, method of application, efficiency and possible complications of brachytherapy at different types of brain tumors were studied.References
