A system for and method of applying non-invasive brachytherapy to a targeted volume within a protruding organ of a patient, employs an applicator constructed so as to be positioned relative to the organ so that an enhanced dose of divergent radiation is deliverable from at least two locations at or very near the periphery of the organ transcutaneously to the targeted volume of the protruding organ from at least two directions so that a higher dose is delivered to the targeted volume than to tissue surrounding the targeted volume. The treatment planning, and image guidance techniques are also described.

La présente invention a trait à un système et un procédé pour l'application de curiethérapie non invasive à un volume ciblé au sein d'un organe saillant d'un patient, à l'aide d'un applicateur conçu pour être positionné par rapport à l'organe de sorte qu'une dose améliorée de rayonnement divergent puisse être délivrée depuis au moins deux emplacements à proximité ou très proche de la périphérie de l'organe par voie transcutanée au volume ciblé de l'organe saillant depuis au moins deux directions de sorte qu'une dose supérieure soit délivrée au volume ciblé qu'au tissu entourant le volume ciblé.
