HIGH DOSE RATE
BRACHYTHERAPY
WHAT DO WE DO
High‑Dose‑Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy delivers a concentrated, high‑energy dose of radiation precisely to the site of the tumor. This technique allows for shorter treatments and better outcomes, making it ideal for certain cancers. Patients benefit from precision, comfort, and an approach tailored to their clinical needs.
HOW IT WORKS
A thin applicator is placed within or adjacent to the tumor site .A highly radioactive source delivers a concentrated dose of radiation directly where it’s needed. The treatment is administered over a short period, often in a few outpatient sessions. The applicators are then removed, leaving no radioactive material in the patient’s body.
OUTCOMES OF TREATMENT
Highly targeted therapy with minimal damage to surrounding tissue
Shorter treatment times compared to traditional radiotherapy
Reduced side effects and quicker recovery
Enhanced outcomes across cancers such as gynecological, prostate, and skin
Enables precise, personalized treatment tailored to patient needs
