For patients who may not be suitable candidates for LDR brachytherapy, other treatment options are available, including:
- External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT): Uses high-energy beams to target the tumor from outside the body. - High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy: Delivers a higher dose of radiation over a shorter period, usually in outpatient sessions. - Chemotherapy: Uses anti-cancer drugs to kill cancer cells. - Surgery: In some cases, surgical removal of the tumor may be recommended.
