Iridium

04/01/1984 - "Respectively, 111/114 (97.4%) of "new" lesions and 48/51 (94%) of previously treated tumors were definitively cured by iridium wire implant. "
01/01/1984 - "Local control with XRT is likely a function of radiation dose, and the use of external beam or iridium implant boosts to the primary tumor mass for increased local control is worthy of continued study. "
