Brachytherapy: Advanced Gynaecological Cancer Treatment
What is Brachytherapy?
Brachytherapy is a form of internal radiation therapy where radioactive seeds or sources are placed directly into or near the tumour. This precise delivery method allows high doses of radiation to target cancer cells while minimising exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
