As opposed to external radiation such as with Linear Accelerator, Brachytherapy treats cancer using precisely placed radioactive sources within and around the tumors. The High Dose Rate brachytherapy machine at MEDICA Cancer Hospital is useful for Cervical, Bronchial, Esophageal, Breast and Head/Neck Cancers. For large tumors both Brachytherapy and external Beam Therapy are given to achieve a better cure rate and control.
