The use of radioactive sources placed into a tumor-bearing area to generate high intensity radiation is termed brachytherapy. This method involves placing a sealed radiation source directly in or near the tumor, which allows for a high dose of radiation to be delivered to the tumor while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
Brachytherapy: This radiation treatment is often used to treat cancers of the head, neck, breast and prostate. A radiation source is placed near the tumor to create high intense radiation to damage the DNA of the cells contain cancer.
Brachytherapy - radiation therapy where a sealed radiation source is placed inside or next to the area requiring treatment.
