It is a type of internal radiation therapy that is used to treat prostate cancer. It can also be used to treat skin cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, eye cancer, etc.
In this treatment, radioactive material sealed in a capsule, wire, or seed is placed inside the body of the patient. The implants can be temporary or permanent depending on the stage and location of the tumor. This therapy can be more effective at destroying the cancer cells while sparing the adjacent healthy tissue.
