Résumé :

Considerable improvement has been made in head and neck brachytherapy since the historical radium era. This technique now allows a conservative treatment for buccal cavity and oropharynx tumors with a local control similar to surgery. When combined with external beam radiotherapy, brachytherapy allows to give a lesser dose to the critical organs. We review the brachytherapy techniques and results for various head and neck location.
