1. Consultation and Planning: Initial consultation to determine if LDR brachytherapy is the right option for the patient. 2. Preparation: Use of imaging techniques to plan the precise placement of the radioactive source. 3. Implantation: Placement of the radioactive source using a catheter or applicator. 4. Monitoring: Continuous monitoring during the treatment period to ensure the source remains in the correct position. 5. Removal: After the treatment period, the radioactive source is safely removed.
