Brachytherapy/ HDR (High Dose Rate Afterloader)

Brachytherapy and HDR Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy is a form of radiotherapy whereby a radioactive source is brought close to the target tissue, via a natural or created channel. A remote control device, called an HDR (High Dose Rate) Afterloader mechanically places the radioactive source at predetermined positions within the applicator and stores the source between treatments. It can be used for patients with lung, esophagus, prostate, breast, cervix, endometrial and rectal cancers, to name a few.
