title: Recommendations of the Spanish Brachytherapy Group of SEOR for HDR endoluminal treatments. Part 1: Oesophagus.
abstract: The endoesophageal brachytherapy technique provides good results in the treatment of oesophageal cancer, when indicated. In a consensus meeting, the Spanish Brachytherapy Group of SEOR and the Spanish Society of Medical Physics (SEFM) agreed on the indications, dose, fractionation schedule, prescription and reporting to be performed in endoesophageal brachytherapy. The results of this consensus are presented here as recommendations for medical practice.
