Memorial Sloan Kettering Radiation Oncology shared on X:

“Many US brachytherapists report using general, conscious sedation or epidural anesthesia, yet 10% are using only oral and 22% offered anesthesia only during applicator placement. A majority believe PTSD can occur, but few offer any intervention.
