摘要： The present invention provides a brachytherapy applicator device having: an elongate body defining a plurality of brachytherapy needle channels, each adapted and configured to receive a brachytherapy needle; a proximal end defining a plurality of proximal openings, each in communication with one of the plurality of brachytherapy needle channels; and a distal end defining a plurality of distal openings, each in communication with one of the plurality of brachytherapy needle channels, wherein at least some of the plurality of brachytherapy needle channels are curved away from a central axis of the elongate body at the distal end such that a brachytherapy needle inserted therethrough will engage with tissue lateral to a cross-sectional profile of the distal end of the elongate body.
