In 2008 roku in Greater Poland Cancer Center we treated 1404 patients using different brachytherapy techniques.  There were 978 patients with non-gyneacological tumours and 426 with gyneacological tumours. It's the next year with growth of treated patients. Between 978 patients treated in Brachytherapy Department there were 301 with prostate cancer (HDR-SWIFT) and first 2 patients with permanent implants.

Great step forward! Webpage is open for submitting articles to new brachytherapy journal (JCB). Adress: www.jocb.eu Publishers webpage (you can also find our journal there): www.termedia.pl Janusz Skowronek - Editor-in-Chief 

On 18.12.2008 r. in our Brachytherapy Department for the first time in Poland and Central Europe two prostate cancer patients were treated with permanent implants (I-125). Treatment was performed by the team leaded by Janusz Skowronek, PhD, Ass. Prof. under medical asisstance of Prof. Jan Battermann from University Medical Center of Utrecht, Netherlands. Two physicists assisted - Rien Moerland from Utrecht and Grzegorz Zwierzchowski from GCC Poznań. It's a great step forward to introduce this method in Poland. Form January 2009 this treatment will be offered regularly for our patients.
