Brachytherapy Afterloaders: Introduction
- Brachytherapy is a procedure that involves placing a radioactive material inside the body. It is a type of radiotherapy used to treat cancer. It is sometimes called internal radiation.
- The therapy allows health care professionals to deliver higher doses of radiation to targeted areas of the body compared to the traditional form of radiation therapy that projects radiation from a machine outside of the body.
- Brachytherapy is the oldest type of radiation therapy used to treat cancer and is suited as a single modality or in combination with other treatments such as external beam radiation therapy
- Brachytherapy is conducted with a so-called afterloader, also known as a remote afterloading system. The very small radiation source is driven from a shielded safe — located inside the afterloader — directly into or next to the tumor with the help of applicators and catheters.
