Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy  is a action that affect placing radioactive material inside your body.

Brachytherapy is one type of radiation therapy that's used to handle cancer. Brachytherapy is sometimes called internal radiation.

Brachytherapy allows doctors to convey higher doses of radiation to more-specific places of the body, correlated with the conventional form of radiation therapy (external beam radiation) that projects radiation from a machine external of your body.

Brachytherapy may cause fewer side effects than does external beam radiation, and the overall treatment time is usually less with brachytherapy.
Brachytherapy is used to treat several types of cancer, including:

  • Bile duct cancer
  • Brain cancer
  • Breast cancer
  • Eye cancer
  • Cervical cancer
  • Endometrial cancer
  • Esophageal cancer
  • Head and neck cancers
  • Lung cancer
  • Skin cancer
  • Pancreatic cancer
  • Prostate cancer
  • Rectal cancer
  • Soft tissue cancers
  • Vaginal cancer


  • Radiation area inside a body cavity. During intracavity brachytherapy, a equipment containing radioactive material is placed in a body opening, such as the windpipe or the vagina. The device may be a tube or cylinder made to fit the different body opening.
    Your radiation therapy team may place the brachytherapy device by hand or may use a computerized machine to help place the device.
    Imaging equipment, such as a CT scanner or ultrasound machine, may be used to ensure the device is placed in the most effective location.
  • Radiation entered into body tissue. During interstitial brachytherapy, equipment containing radioactive material are placed within body tissue, such as within the breast or prostate.
    Devices that deliver interstitial radiation into the treatment area include wires, balloons and tiny seeds the size of grains of rice.
    A number of techniques are used for inserting the brachytherapy devices into body tissue.
    Your radiation therapy team may use needles or special applicators. These long, hollow tubes are loaded with the brachytherapy devices, such as seeds, and inserted into the tissue where the seeds are released.
    In some cases, narrow tubes (catheters) may be placed during surgery and later filled with radioactive material during brachytherapy sessions.
    CT scans, ultrasound or other imaging techniques may be used to escort the equipment into place and to ensure they're positioned in the most-effective places.
