A delivery system and method for interstitial radiation therapy comprising a substantially axially stiff and longitudinally flexible elongated strand made of material, which is bio-absorbable in living tissue and a plurality of radioactive seeds dispersed in a predeterrnined array within the strand. The delivery system and method further customize the strand based on a prescription. The strands can have custom end spacings, which allow the optimal placing of seeds within the treatment tissue by implanting a plurality of strands to the same depth. A plurality of these strands can be implanted at the same time by the use of a guiding device.

Système et procédé d'administration de radiothérapie interstitielle. Ledit système comporte un tube allongé axialement rigide et longitudinalement souple constitué d'une matière qui est bio-absorbable dans les tissus vivants, et une pluralité de grains radioactifs dispersés selon une disposition prédéterminée dans le tube. Le système et le procédé selon la présente invention permettent en outre la personnalisation du tube sur la base d'une prescription. Les tubes peuvent comporter des éléments d'écartement terminaux personnalisés, ce qui permet la mise en place optimale des grains dans les tissus à traiter par l'implantation d'une pluralité de tubes à la même profondeur. Une pluralité de ces tubes peut être implantée simultanément à l'aide d'un dispositif de guidage.
