Targeted Internal Radiation Therapy for Cancer Care
Varian HDR Brachytherapy Machine is an advanced radiation therapy system used to deliver high-dose radiation directly to or near the tumour site through specialised applicators, catheters or needles.
HDR, or High Dose Rate brachytherapy, allows the radiation oncology team to deliver a planned radiation dose from inside the body for selected cancers, helping target the tumour while limiting radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues where clinically possible.
Why HDR Brachytherapy?
HDR brachytherapy may offer several benefits in suitable patients, including:
Highly targeted radiation delivery
Short treatment sessions in many cases
Precise dose delivery to the treatment area
Reduced exposure to nearby healthy tissues where possible
Can be used alone or along with external beam radiotherapy in selected cases
Supports personalized treatment planning
Minimally invasive approach for suitable patients
Where Can It Be Used?
HDR brachytherapy may be used for selected cancers and clinical conditions, including:
Cervical Cancer | Prostate Cancer | Breast Cancer | Endometrial Cancer | Vaginal Cancer | Head & Neck Cancers | Skin Cancers in Suitable Cases
How Does It Work?
During HDR brachytherapy, applicators, catheters or needles are carefully positioned in or near the treatment area. A computer-controlled afterloader then temporarily sends a tiny radioactive source through the applicator to deliver the prescribed radiation dose.
Once the treatment is completed, the radioactive source safely returns to the machine. No radioactive material remains inside the patient after the session.
The technology supports radiation oncologists, medical physicists and the brachytherapy team in delivering planned treatment with precision. It does not replace clinical expertise.
Focused Radiation. Precise Delivery. Personalised Cancer Care.
