Brachytherapy

The sole word used to describe the use of internal radiation implants is brachytherapy. Brachytherapy is a form of internal radiation therapy in which radiation-containing seeds, ribbons, or capsules are inserted into or close to the tumor in your body.

A single body component can only be treated locally using brachytherapy. Cancers of the head and neck, breast, cervix, prostate, and eye are among those often treated with it. The majority of brachytherapy is implanted via a catheter, a thin, flexible tube.

Brachytherapy may occasionally be applied using a bigger apparatus known as an applicator. The method of brachytherapy application depends on the type of cancer you have.
