LDR is an appropriate consideration for patients eligible for partial breast irradiation; it's important to recognize that LDR was included on RTOG 9517 and more modern series have also evaluated new LDR techniques.
There is limited data comparing HDR and LDR, and this would also be dependent on HDR ...
