Does intracavitary radiation use phosphorus?
Yes
Does intracavitary radiation make people radioactive?
No, intracavitary radiation does not make people radioactive. The radioactive source used for treatment is placed inside the body temporarily, and once the treatment is completed, the source is removed. The patient does not become radioactive from this procedure.
Does intracavitary radiation use cesium?
Yes, intracavitary radiation can use cesium-137 as a radioactive source. cesium-137 is a common isotope used in brachytherapy for treating certain types of cancers.
Why is intracavitary radiation used?
The advantage is that it concentrates the radiation near the cancer and lessens the chance of damage to normal cells
Does intracavitary radiation use iridium?
Yes, intracavitary radiation therapy can use iridium-192 sources. Iridium-192 is a common radioactive isotope used in brachytherapy for treating various cancers, including gynecological and prostate cancers. The radioactive source is placed inside or near the tumor to deliver targeted radiation treatment.
