BRACHYTHERAPY

We have the latest internal radiotherapy device (cobalt) for tumors of the uterus, cervix and nasopharynx

The word “Brachytherapy” means close treatment and it is a radiation technique in which radioactive sources are placed in body cavities or between tissues (temporarily).

This technique is performed before or after external radiotherapy and this type of treatment is directed directly to the affected part.

This type of radiotherapy aims to deliver the highest dose of radiation to the part of the body to be treated, while harming the nearby healthy tissues is minimal.

Internal radiotherapy is an effective treatment, especially in cases of genital tumors, but it can also be used for some tumors located in different parts of the body.

The number of sessions ranges from 3 to 5 sessions per patient.
