Abstract

Treatment technique training needs theoretical and practical knowledge allowing proposing the right treatment for the right patient, but also allowing performing the technical gesture in the best conditions for an optimal result with a maximal security. The evolution of the brachytherapy techniques needs the set up of specific theoretical and practical training sessions. The present article focuses on the importance of the brachytherapy training as well as the different means currently available for the young radiation oncologist community for perfecting their education. National and international trainings are presented. The role of the simulation principle in the frame of brachytherapy is also discussed. Even if brachytherapy is not always an easy technique, its efficacy and its medico-economical impact need to be passed down to motivated students with the implementation of relevant educational means.
