What Are the Benefits of Using Balloons in Brachytherapy?
The use of balloons in brachytherapy offers several advantages:
1. Precision: The balloon conforms to the shape of the cavity, ensuring even distribution of radiation. 2. Minimized Side Effects: Targeted treatment reduces the risk of damaging healthy tissues. 3. Convenience: The procedure can often be completed in a shorter time frame compared to external radiation therapy.
