Who is a suitable candidate for LDR brachytherapy?
LDR brachytherapy is suitable for patients with localized tumors that can be effectively targeted with this approach. It is commonly used for early-stage prostate cancer, cervical cancer, and certain head and neck cancers. The suitability of LDR brachytherapy depends on factors such as the tumor's size, location, and the patient's overall health. A multidisciplinary medical team, including oncologists and radiation specialists, typically makes the final decision.
