brachytherapy

What is Brachytherapy?

Brachytherapy is a form of internal radiation therapy used to treat various cancers, including those affecting the female reproductive organs. Unlike external beam radiation therapy, which directs radiation from outside the body, brachytherapy involves placing radioactive sources directly inside or near the tumor. This localized approach allows for higher doses of radiation to be delivered to the tumor while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
