Abstract
Since 1984, perineal template/needle techniques for interstitial implantation of gynecologic cancer-cervix, vagina, vulva-have been developed at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Institute. The Paris System of dosimetry has been used resulting in greater dose homogeneity, fewer needles and radioactive sources and considerable simplification and ease of implantation compared with comparable techniques developed in the United States. Principles and techniques of implantation are described in detail.
