Brachytherapy | Benefits

Brachytherapy has proven to be a highly successful treatment for cancers of the prostate, cervix, endometrium, breast, skin, bronchus, esophagus, and head and neck, as well as soft tissue sarcomas and several other types of cancer. Brachytherapy offers many benefits including:

Brachytherapy is used to treat tumors throughout the body
  • Highly targeted conformal treatment allowing:
    • Rapid dose fall off away from the treatment area which results in reduced dose to surrounding healthy tissue and can lead to less potential complications
    • Higher dose delivery to the tumor can lead to potential increased efficacy
  • For breast cancer, potential to reduce duration of radiation treatment (i.e., days vs. weeks)
  • For prostate cancer, potential to avoid prostatectomy
  • Offers a treatment option for otherwise challenging cases that might otherwise not be treatable
  • Simplified palliative treatment option for certain cases.
