Brachytherapy
What is Brachytherapy?
Brachytherapy is a form of internal radiotherapy used to treat cancer. It involves placing a radioactive source inside or very close to the tumour, allowing precise, targeted treatment while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
Brachytherapy is particularly suitable for:
-
Men with localised prostate cancer
-
Cases where cancer has early spread into nearby tissues
Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer
There are two main types of prostate brachytherapy, both of which involve inserting radioactive implants into the prostate gland. Treatment can be:
-
High-dose brachytherapy
-
Low-dose brachytherapy
In some cases, brachytherapy may be combined with external beam radiotherapy for enhanced effectiveness.
