Brachytherapy: A targeted approach to treating oral and neck cancer

• Brachytherapy minimizes collateral damage by applying high doses of radiation directly to the tumour while protecting neighbouring healthy tissues. • Brachytherapy supports in organ preservation by successfully treating cancers while preserving the functionality of vital tissues needed for speaking, swallowing, and chewing. • Patients may finish therapy without wasting a lot of time in the hospital since outpatient care is quicker and causes less disturbance to everyday life. • When other therapeutic options have been exhausted, brachytherapy can be a useful approach for treating recurrent malignancies.
