Résumé

In February 2021, the Brachytherapy department of the Lorraine Cancer Institute began a transition away from pulsed dose rate (PDR) towards high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy, for gynaecological cancer, cancers of the oral cavity, oropharynx and anal canal, penile cancer and sarcoma. We describe our experience here; for the benefit of other brachytherapy departments that may be envisaging a similar transition in care.
