Some of the key benefits of LDR brachytherapy include:
- Localized Treatment: The radiation is confined to the tumor area, reducing the risk of damaging surrounding healthy tissues. - Higher Precision: The use of imaging techniques ensures accurate placement of the radioactive source. - Reduced Side Effects: Patients experience fewer side effects compared to external beam radiation therapy. - Shorter Treatment Time: Although the radioactive source remains in place for several days, the overall treatment period can be shorter compared to other therapies.
