Precision: The ability to deliver a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissues. Shorter Treatment Times: HDR brachytherapy typically involves shorter treatment sessions compared to external beam radiation therapy. Outpatient Procedure: Most HDR brachytherapy treatments can be performed on an outpatient basis, reducing hospital stays and recovery times. Effective for Recurrent Cancers: HDR brachytherapy can be an effective option for treating recurrent cancers that have previously been treated with radiation.
