Abstract
In the last 20 years, gynecologic brachytherapy has made tremendous advancements,
most prominently evidenced by the evolution of cervical cancer brachytherapy. In its
20 year history, Brachytherapy has become known as a journal of science, education, and advocacy for our specialty
and for our patients. In this review, we celebrate the 25 most impactful manuscripts
in gynecologic brachytherapy in the journal's history.
