Brachytherapy is a type of internal radiation treatment where we place radioactive sources inside the cancer. So unlike radiotherapy from the outside, or external beam radiotherapy, the radiotherapy moves from the inside of the tumor to the outside of the tumor. That allows us to give a very high dose of radiotherapy over a very short distance, treating the cancer, but sparing the surrounding normal tissue.
