Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy, also known as radiation implant therapy, stands as a common and effective method for the treatment of gynecological cancers, maximizing the therapeutic impact on the tumor while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.

This treatment utilizes special applicators that are inserted into body cavities or tissue to position the radiation source in close proximity to the cancerous area. These applicators are then connected by a catheter to a high dose rate remote afterloader. The afterloader then precisely places the radioactive source within the applicator for treatment.
