Types of Radiotherapy

External Beam radiotherapy - This simply means the radiation is delivered via a beam from outside of the body by appropriate machines such as linear accelerators. This does not make you radioactive. If you are having External Beam Radiotherapy please refer to this page here.

Brachytherapy - This means the radiation is delivered inside the body to the area it is targeting. If you are having Brachytherapy please refer to the Brachytherapy page here.
