High Dose Rate Brachytherapy is a specialized radiation therapy option that delivers radiation close to the targeted tissue. Treatment planning is designed around the patient's diagnosis, the location of the cancer, and the surrounding anatomy. Depending on individual circumstances, this technique may be incorporated into a broader cancer care plan. The radiation oncology team explains the procedure, potential side effects, and follow-up needs before treatment begins.
