Endobronchial Brachytherapy

Definition

Endobronchial brachytherapy is a medical treatment that involves the targeted delivery of radiation therapy to the airways of the lungs, specifically the bronchi, to treat malignant tumors or other obstructive lesions. This procedure is minimally invasive and uses a bronchoscope to place a radioactive source close to the tumor, allowing for precise treatment while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
