This study investigated the feasibility of using intraoperative directional brachytherapy for treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx. The patient had received a prior course of external beam therapy of 70 Gy in 2015. Due to positive margins near the carotid after the resection, and the increased risk of additional external radiation, brachytherapy was considered as a treatment option.
