Brachytherapy is a type of internal radiation therapy where a radioactive source is placed directly inside or very close to the tumor. This allows high-dose radiation to target cancer cells precisely while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. It is commonly used for cancers of the prostate, cervix, uterus, breast, and more.
Brachytherapy is considered one of the most effective and safe forms of localized cancer treatment. Many patients look for brachytherapy in India because of the availability of advanced technology and experienced oncologists.
