Research Notes on Brachytherapy Side Effects
Brachytherapy is a form of radiotherapy in which physicians place the source of irradiation close to the tumor or within a body cavity. Immediate side effects are soreness and swelling in the treatment area. Short term side effects includes slight bleeding or burning in the treatment area, or blood in the urine. In the long term brachytherapy may lead to impotence.
