Brachy radiotherapy is a special form of radiotherapy known as brachy, which means short or near, referring to the close distance between the radiation source and the tumor. In contrast to usual external radiotherapy, the potent radioactive source of radiation is placed directly on or inserted into the tumor. This allows for targeted and precise irradiation of the tumor area, providing the best possible protection for surrounding healthy body tissue. Brachytherapy may be used as monotherapy or in combination with external radiation therapy, depending on the indication.
