Balloon Brachytherapy

Balloon Brachytherapy is a form of accelerated partial-breast irradiation that involves the minimally invasive placement of a balloon catheter into the post-lumpectomy cavity to deliver localized high-dose radiation, distinguished by its use of a single-source applicator with conformal dose distribution to surrounding tissue.
