title: Endobronchial brachytherapy.
abstract: Endobronchial brachytherapy is a palliative treatment primarily used for individuals with lung cancer. This article describes the brachytherapy and presents the nurse's role before, during, and after the procedure. Coordination between hospital staff--endoscopy department, pulmonologist, radiation oncologist, and radiology department--is important to assure the success of this procedure.
