%X Se hizo una investigaci車n aplicando boost sobre el 芍rea de la recidiva de la nasofaringe con altas tasas de dosis (HDR) en un diagn車stico de carcinoma de nasofaringe que hab赤a sido tratado con telecobaltoterapia, a una dosis de 70 Gy, y hubo persistencia de la lesi車n. Se planificaron para 3 aplicaciones, con fracciones de 6,5 Gy consecutivas en 15 d, con optimizaci車n, utilizando un molde personalizado de acr赤lico autopolimerizable. Se reafirm車 la posibilidad exitosa de aplicar la moderna braquiterapia de alta tasa como tratamiento complementario a la teleterapia en caso de persistencia o recidiva. Se utiliz車 un equipo MicroSelectron HDR A research was made by applying boost on the area of the nasopharynx relapse with high dose rate (HDR) in a diagnosis of nasopharynx carcinoma previously treated with telecobalt therapy, at a dose of 70 Gy. There was persistence of the injury. Three sessions were planned, with consecutive fractions of 6.5 Gy in 15 days, with optimization, using a personal mould of autopolymerizable acrylic. The successful possibility to apply the high rate modern brachytherapy was reaffirmed, as a treatment complementary to teletherapy in case of persistence or relapse. A MicroSelectron HDR equipment was used
