title: [Interstitial gamma irradiation of the parasternal area in breast cancer].
abstract: The authors substantiated the effectiveness of local irradiation of the parasternal lymph node chain by means of cylindrical 60Co sources of original design. Sizes of the sources: total length--65 mm, active length--60 mm, external diameter--1 mm. This type of irradiation as part of combined and multimodality therapy was used in 112 patients. This method is easy to perform and well tolerated by patients.
