摘要：
Balloon-based brachytherapy was developed to simplify the bracytherapy technique to make it more accessible to breast cancer patients. Balloon-based brachytherapy is associated with a more-convenient delivery of radiotherapy, improved quality of life and patient compliance. This Review discusses a new device called Xoft Axxent®electronic brachytherapy, which uses a disposable electronic radiation source and avoids the need of a high-dose-rate afterloader unit, thereby enhancing the convenience for patients.
