- The word “Brachytherapy” means close treatment and it is a radiation technique in which radioactive sources are placed in body cavities or between tissues (temporarily).
- This technique is performed before or after external radiotherapy and this type of treatment is directed directly to the affected part.
- This type of radiotherapy aims to deliver the highest dose of radiation to the part of the body to be treated, while harming the nearby healthy tissues is minimal.
- Internal radiotherapy is an effective treatment, especially in cases of genital tumors, but it can also be used for some tumors located in different parts of the body.
- The number of sessions ranges from 3 to 5 sessions per patient.
