What are the Types of Radiation Therapy in Gynecology?
1. External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT): This is the most common form of radiation therapy and involves directing high-energy beams from outside the body to the cancerous area. 2. Brachytherapy: This involves placing radioactive materials directly inside or near the tumor. It is particularly useful for cervical and endometrial cancers. 3. Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT): A type of EBRT that allows for more precise targeting of the tumor, thereby sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
