What is Intracavitary Brachytherapy?
Intracavitary brachytherapy places a sealed source inside a natural body cavity — often the uterus, vagina or cervix — so dose is concentrated at the cavity wall and nearby target rather than delivered from a linac. After applicator insertion — often under anaesthesia — imaging confirms geometry, dwell times are calculated, and the source treats the cavity. HDR programmes usually use several insertions; LDR uses a longer dwell.
