By inserting the radiation source inside the tumor, interstitial brachytherapy is used. For example, prostate cancer is treated with this approach. Intracavity brachytherapy involves inserting the radiation source into a surgically made or natural cavity. For instance, endometrial or cervical cancer can be treated by administering radiation to the vagina. A form of internal radiation therapy called brachytherapy involves inserting radiation-containing seeds, ribbons, or capsules into your body, either inside or close to the tumor. Only one area of your body is treated by brachytherapy, which is a local therapy. Cancers of the head and neck, breast, cervix, prostate, and eye are frequently treated with it. The majority of brachytherapy is administered via a catheter, a tiny, flexible tube. Sometimes a larger tool known as an applicator is used to administer brachytherapy. The type of cancer you have will determine how the brachytherapy is administered. Prior to starting therapy, your physician will insert the applicator or catheter into your body.
