Introduction: Brachytherapy is a form of radiotherapy involving the precise positioning of radioactive sources near the tissue to be treated. It is often an invasive technique requiring a sterile surgical environment and a multi-disciplinary team of professionals working together to perform the complex procedure. Education and training, however, often does not take the required precision or...

Introduction of the study:
Multi-catheter interstitial brachytherapy (MIB) is the oldest technique with longest follow-up for Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation. Intra operative multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy requires duration of implant in situ is generally 7-10 days which may lead to post operative changes such as seroma formation and regression. This may result in variation...
