Curie-therapy with gamma transmitters

This article made it possible to briefly look over the techniques of curie-therapy, the temporary implants with the radium of cancers of the skin to the permanent implants for cancers of the prostate. Curie-therapy has been applied to the temporary implants of the prostate to prevent restenose (closing of an artery after an operation like angioplasty) in the arteries i.e. the intravascular curietherapy. A very significant field of study is the relation between the dosimetry , the improvement of the techniques of dosimetry and the prognostic factors of the treatment (survival, side effects)
