Interstitial Implants
Interstitial implants treatment in Yeshwanthpur
Interstitial implants, also known as interstitial brachytherapy, is a medical treatment where radioactive sources are put close to or directly into the cancerous tissue. It's commonly used for specific cancers like those in the prostate, breast, and gynaecological areas. This therapy delivers focused radiation to treat cancer cells while minimising exposure to healthy tissues.
Interstitial implants are a specialised cancer treatment where small radioactive seeds or sources are placed directly into or near the tumour. This can be done surgically or using image-guided techniques. These radioactive sources emit focused radiation to the tumour, providing a high dose to cancer cells while protecting nearby healthy tissues.
In prostate cancer, for instance, interstitial brachytherapy involves placing radioactive seeds directly into the prostate, delivering targeted radiation to cancer cells while sparing healthy tissues. The approach and type of radioactive material vary based on the cancer type and location. Interstitial implants are part of a comprehensive treatment plan and can be used alone or with other therapies like surgery, external beam radiation, or chemotherapy. Before the interstitial procedure, you may be required to have an EKG, a chest x-ray, or other radiologic imaging for further examinations.
