Internal Radiotherapy
Brachytherapy
We offer specialized medical equipment for cancer treatment
An indispensable technique for radiotherapy.
High-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR) allows a high quantity of radiation to be applied to a small area, where the source of radiation maintains its position relative to the tumor.
Treatments with internal brachytherapy are applied to different types of cancer, including cervical, prostate, breast, skin, and rectal cancer. Treatment times are generally shorter compared to external radiation therapy.
Many of the brachytherapy procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, so they do not greatly interfere with the patient’s routine. Short treatment times and outpatient procedures also help improve the efficiency of radiation therapy clinics.
