As Brachytherapy reaches 20 years in publication, it is important to recognize its
evolution. Over the past few years, intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) and electronic
brachytherapy (EB) became independent sections within the journal. This highlights
their growing clinical utilization as well as growing research in these techniques,
allowing the journal to add additional areas of focus and provide greater discussion
on these techniques. One of the unique features of this section is that it focuses
on two techniques and incorporates all disease sites, something unique for the journal
and something that is seen in the key articles as well as those that are most highly
cited in this area.
