“…Six studies (comprising 88 SCCs) reported recurrence after brachytherapy [592][593][594][595][596][597] (see Appendix 9 and Figure 44), giving a pooled average local recurrence of 5.2% (95% CI 1.6% to 10.5%; I 2 = 0%). Of these, four were prospective reports (35 SCCs) 592,594,595,597 and two (53 SCCs) were retrospective, 593,596 with varying follow-up periods from an average of 9.6 months 595 up to a median of 55 months.…”
