The most general term is "radiotherapy", or "radiation therapy", but that term would also include external sources of radiation being used to irradiate the target tissue. When radioactive sources are implanted to deliver a therapeutic dose of radiation, the term "brachytherapy" is used.
Brachytherapy IS radiation treatment. Irradiated seeds are placed into or next to a cancerous area. These seeds are then irradiated causing the cancer to die.
