There are two basic types of radiotherapy:

1. External beam radiotherapy (EBRT)
2. Brachytherapy - also sometimes known as internal radiotherapy

Brachytherapy works by targeting the cancerous tumor from inside the body. The source of radiation is placed directly inside or next to the tumor. This approach reduces the risk of damage to healthy tissue and organs that are close to the tumor.

Brachytherapy is different from external beam radiotherapy, which delivers radiation from outside the body. This means that the radiation has to travel through healthy tissue to reach the tumor - so more healthy tissues and organs could be exposed.

In brachytherapy, the method of delivering the radiation directly to the tumor depends on a number of things, including where the cancer is located.
