Frequently Asked Questions about Brachytherapy in Nepal

Find answers to common questions about brachytherapy and cancer treatment at Kathmandu Brachytherapy Clinic.

What is Brachytherapy?

Brachytherapy, or internal radiotherapy, is an advanced cancer treatment available in Nepal that delivers radiation directly to tumors, minimizing damage to healthy tissues. It is particularly effective for cancers such as lip, tongue, and gynecological cancers.

How Does Brachytherapy Differ from External Radiation?

Unlike external radiation, which directs beams from outside the body, brachytherapy places radiation sources inside the body near the tumor. This allows for higher doses of radiation to be delivered more precisely, reducing side effects and improving outcomes.

What Are the Side Effects of Brachytherapy?

Side effects vary depending on the treatment area but are generally milder than those of external radiation. Common side effects may include temporary discomfort or swelling at the treatment site. Our team provides personalized care to manage any side effects effectively.

Is Brachytherapy Available in Nepal?

Yes, Kathmandu Brachytherapy Clinic is the leading provider of advanced brachytherapy treatments in Nepal, offering state-of-the-art care for various types of cancer.

What types of cancer does the clinic treat with brachytherapy?

Our clinic offers brachytherapy for lip, lung, liver, gynecological, esophageal, skin, and tongue cancers. Please see our services section for more details.

How long does a brachytherapy session last?

The duration of a brachytherapy session varies depending on the type of cancer and the specific treatment plan. Typically, sessions can last from a few minutes to a few hours. Our team will provide you with the exact duration based on your individual case.

Is brachytherapy painful?

Brachytherapy is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, ensuring that the patient does not experience pain during the procedure. Some patients might feel minor discomfort, which is managed by our medical team.
