Preoperative high dose rate brachytherapy for rectal cancer (IPG531)
Evidence-based recommendations on preoperative high dose rate brachytherapy for rectal cancers. This involves inserting an applicator into the rectum and using it to deliver radiation to the tumour.
Low dose rate brachytherapy for localised prostate cancer (IPG132)
Evidence-based recommendations on low dose rate brachytherapy for localised prostate cancer. This involves placing small radioactive seeds into the prostate that give off low doses of radiation to destroy cancer cells.
High dose rate brachytherapy for carcinoma of the cervix (IPG160)
Evidence-based recommendations on high dose rate brachytherapy for carinoma of the cervix. This involves giving radiation at a high dose rate to the cervix (reducing the timeframe compared with low or medium dose rates) to treat the cancer.

Evidence-based recommendations on low energy contact X-ray brachytherapy (the Papillon technique) for early stage rectal cancer. This involves inserting an X-ray tube through the anus and placing it in close contact with the tumour to kill cancer cells and reduce the size of the tumour.
Axxent electronic brachytherapy system for early stage breast cancer (MIB76)
NICE has developed a medtech innovation briefing (MIB) on Axxent electronic brachytherapy system for early stage breast cancer
Evidence-based recommendations on low-energy contact X-ray brachytherapy (the Papillon technique) for locally advanced rectal cancer in adults. This involves using an X-ray tube inserted into the rectum to destroy the cancer cells.
