Internal radiation therapy is one of the two types of radiation therapy. With this type, a radioactive substance is placed inside the body very close to, or right inside, the cancerous tumor, or in the place of a previously removed cancer. (See also external radiation therapy.)
The placement of small radioactive pellets, or "seeds," in the prostate to deliver the radiation dose to the cancer around the clock for weeks or months.
(also called brachytherapy): a procedure whereby radioactive material is injected into, or near a tumor to kill the cells within it
Treatment with high-energy radiation from tiny radioactive seeds inserted into the prostate.
Radiation therapy in which radioactive material is placed in or near a tumor.
Treatment with rays from radioactive compounds placed inside the tumor or tumors.
The use of tiny radioactive seeds - or implants - placed directly into or next to the prostate gland to kill cancerous cells. This is also known as interstitial implantation or brachytherapy.
Placing the radiation treatment source into or near the cancer. This procedure is also called brachytherapy or internal radiation.
The delivery of radioactive material to a location very close to the tumor from a source placed inside the body. Methods of delivery include injection, ingestion, or implantation. Also known as brachytherapy.
radioactive material is placed in or near a tumor Interstitial fibrosis - chronic inflammation of the alveolar walls with a tendency to destroy the lung architecture by consequent healing with progressively severe fibrosis. The progressive nature distinguishes it from other self-limiting forms of lung fibroses.
