I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.

Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   ...However, the development of remote afterloading systems ... Please explain "afterloading systems".  Done

   Well written, follows the Mos sufficiently, no infobox necessary for articles about treatments.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   One citation needed tag (Dec 2009) in the Breast cancer section needs addressing.  Done

   'Source placement': It is probably in one of the many papers already cited but I think that some form of citation for this section would be desirable.  Done

   ''In cases where the tumour is not easily accessible or is too large to ensure an optimal distribution of irradiation to the treatment area, brachytherapy can be combined with other treatments, such as EBRT and/or surgery. Combination therapy of brachytherapy exclusively with chemotherapy is rare. Can we have a citation for this?  Done

   Procedure: the first free subsections are entirely uncited.  Done

   'Electronic brachytherapy' is uncited  Done

   All sources provided appear reliable, and those that I hve been able to access support the cited statements. I assume good faith for the others.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   The article is thorough and well developed.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   Images tagged and suitably captioned.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   OK, one minor explnation needed, and some uncited passages. On hold for seven days. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 16:24, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
