Brachytherapy is a form of internal radiation therapy in which a small radioactive source is placed inside or very close to a tumour, delivering a precisely targeted high dose of radiation to the cancer while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. It is used to treat cancers of the cervix, uterus, prostate, breast, skin, head and neck, and other sites, either on its own or combined with external beam radiation, surgery, or chemotherapy. The two main approaches are high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy, where the source is inserted for a few minutes per session and then removed, and low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy, where radioactive seeds may be permanently implanted or a source kept in place for a longer period. Most HDR sessions are delivered as day-care visits, though some types require a short hospital stay when applicators must remain in place between fractions. The total number of sessions and overall treatment span depend on the cancer type, site, and whether brachytherapy is being combined with other treatments.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this treatment: CBC (complete blood count), Liver function tests (LFT), Kidney function tests (KFT), ECG, CT or MRI of the treatment site (for applicator planning), Tumour markers (e.g. PSA for prostate, CA-125 for gynaecological — as applicable), Pre-anaesthesia fitness evaluation. Done in India before treatment begins. Cost varies with case complexity.
Estimated cost in India: $3,500 – $8,500
Treatment duration in India: ~3 weeks (~5 hospital visit days across the full span)
