What is HDR brachytherapy?
High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is a type of internal radiation therapy used to treat cancer. A radioactive source is temporarily placed inside the body, close to the tumor. HDR brachytherapy allows for a high dose of radiation to be delivered directly to the tumor while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. It is commonly used for cancers of the prostate, cervix, breast, and esophagus.
What other technologies are related to HDR brachytherapy?
HDR brachytherapy Competitor Technologies
SBRT
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is an external beam radiation therapy technique that delivers high doses of radiation to a tumor in a few fractions. As an alternative to brachytherapy, it can be used to treat some of the same tumor types.
VMAT
Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) is an external beam radiation therapy technique where the radiation is delivered in a continuous arc. It can be used as an alternative to brachytherapy for some cancer types.
IMRT
Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) is an external beam radiation therapy technique that optimizes the radiation dose to the tumor while minimizing the dose to surrounding healthy tissues. It can be a competitor for certain applications of HDR brachytherapy.
SRS
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a precise form of radiation therapy used to treat tumors and other abnormalities in the brain, and sometimes other parts of the body. It is an alternative to brachytherapy, especially for brain tumors.
