BrachyTherapy For Cancer - A Ray Of Hope

Mgcancerhospital02 Jul, 2021Health

Radiotherapy can be delivered externally, called External Beam RadioTherapy (EBRT), and internally or in contact called, BrachyTherapy (BT). Technically speaking EBRT is delivered from the outside of the body and BT is delivered from the inside of the tumor. In other words for radiation to reach a tumor located inside our body, EBRT delivers radiation traversing through the skin and underlying structures before reaching the tumor, thereby irradiating more normal tissue during the process.
