Brachytherapy is a form of radiotherapy that treats cancer by irradiation from a short distance. Two different forms of brachytherapy are used today: permanent and temporary brachytherapy. In permanent brachytherapy, a small radioactive source is implanted in the body, while in temporary brachytherapy, the radioactive source is placed directly inside or close to the site of the tumor for a limited and defined period.

Brachytherapy is commonly used to treat tumours in numerous body sites, such as the cervix, endometrium, prostate, breast, oesophagus, lung & bronchus, lip & oral cavity, as well as the eyes.
