近接放射線治療可加強腫瘤區域局部劑量，而不致做腫瘤周圍正常組織接受太多不必要的放射線劑量，並可保有正常組織原來外貌與功能，遙控後荷式治療機的使用免除了醫護人員暴露於輻射的恐懼，而使得此技術逐漸被大家所重視，希望藉此能讓護理同仁對遙控後荷式近接治療之過程、注意事項、護理診斷與措施有所認識，以提供高品質之服務。

　　　　　Brachytherapy delivers a high-level radiation dose in or near the target tumor and a rapidly diminishing radiation dose to regions outside the tumor. The process maintains the organ's original function and disposition. Remote control afterloading brachytherapy techniques have become popular in recent years because they minimize collateral radiation delivered to doctors and nurses. This paper will detail the impact of remote control afterloading brachytherapy on the nurse.
