Brachytherapy :

Brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy that is used to manage cancer. In case of brachytherapy, radioactive seeds, capsules, or implants are injected near the cancer cells and then the radiation will be passed through them in order to destroy the cancer cells. There are various types of cancers that will be managed with brachytherapy, including gynecological cancers involving uterine cancer, cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, prostate cancers, eye cancer, breast cancer, and head and neck cancers. There are different types of brachytherapy, including intracavity brachytherapy, interstitial brachytherapy, and intraluminal brachytherapy. The main goal of brachytherapy will be to treat the cancer cells very precisely without damaging the healthy cells that surround the cancer cells. There are various side effects associated with brachytherapy, including bruising, nausea & vomiting, erectile dysfunction, vaginal scarring, swelling, urinary incontinence, pain, constipation, and diarrhea. Brachytherapy will be a very effective treatment method for the management of cancers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Brachytherapy, or internal radiation therapy, is used to treat various types of cancers such as prostate, cervical, and some head and neck cancers. It involves placing radioactive sources near or within the cancerous tissue to deliver high doses of radiation directly to the cancerous area.
The number of needles used in brachytherapy depends on the specific case, size, and location of the cancer being treated. In some cases, only one or two needles may be used, while in others several needles may be necessary to deliver the radiation therapy effectively. Consult the doctors for brachytherapy in Kolkata to know more.
