High Dose Rate Brachytherapy (HDR), also referred to, as "internal radiation therapy" is a radiation treatment, which uses a small radioactive source temporarily, placed inside or near the tumor. Interstitial HDR Brachytherapy is performed for soft tissue sarcomas as an adjunct to surgery. Intracavitary HDR Brachytherapy is provided as a definitive treatment (along with external beam radiation) for advanced uterine cervix cancer and as an adjunct (alone) following hysterectomy for higher risk uterine endometrial cancer (vaginal cuff). Under computer control the position and timing of the radiation source placement can be precisely controlled, allowing the physician to shape the radiation dose to the target. Because of the high dose rate characteristics, this brachytherapy treatment is provided during a short time frame on an outpatient basis. This avoids the hospitalization (and related complications with extended patient immobilization) that was required with previous low dose rate techniques (LDR).
