Description
The paper is concerned with analysis of technology developed in our country for the manufacture and use of pin sources with linear and inhomogeneous (stepped) distribution of 252Cf and sources of flexible assembies in interstitial radiotherapy of tumors. Clinical analysis contains 407 cases of therapy of head and neck tumors over the period of 1979-1987. The most promising sources (with regard to the frequency of use) are pin sources with homogeneous radionuclide distribution and flexible assemblies
