Brachytherapy – a standard of care, backed up by technological advances

The original idea of internal radiotherapy was actually first developed in the early part of the twentieth century. For example, brachytherapy has long been regarded as a standard of care in the treatment of cervical cancer,  and experts agree that brachytherapy has a particular role in the treatment of smaller, earlier stage tumors. Recent technological advances in brachytherapy have resulted in treatments tailored to the individual needs of each patient:

  • Modern imaging techniques such as CT scans and MR scans, allowing medical practitioners to pinpoint the location, shape and size of a tumor 
    • Specific technology and software - allowing doctors to precisely calculate the optimal dose and its distribution to treat the tumour, while avoiding healthy tissue.
    • Specialized medical devices allow high doses of radiotherapy to be delivered to the target site, safely and efficiently
