What are the Potential Side Effects of Surface Brachytherapy?
While surface brachytherapy is generally well-tolerated, patients may experience some side effects. These can include skin irritation, redness, and swelling at the treatment site. In some cases, there may be temporary changes in skin color or texture. More serious side effects are rare but can include ulceration or necrosis of the treated area. It is important to discuss potential side effects with a healthcare provider to understand the risks and benefits of the treatment.
