🎗️ Brachytherapy: A Precision Cancer Treatment That Targets Tumors from Within
Did you know that some cancer treatments work by placing radiation directly inside or next to a tumor?
Brachytherapy is one of the most advanced forms of radiation therapy, offering highly targeted treatment while protecting the surrounding healthy tissues. It has become an important option for treating several types of cancer with accuracy and efficiency.
Brachytherapy, also known as internal radiation therapy, has been used in modern medicine for over a century. The concept emerged soon after the discovery of radioactivity in the late 1800s, when scientists realized that radioactive materials could be used to destroy cancer cells. Over the years, technological advancements in imaging, treatment planning, and radiation delivery have made brachytherapy safer, more precise, and more effective. Today, it is widely used for cancers such as prostate, cervical, breast, skin, and head and neck cancers. Unlike external…
