This oncological treatment obtains best results when combined with Chemotherapy and surgery. It consists of different forms or radiation, in our case X rays and Gamma Rays, which focus on a specific body area to minimize damage to healthy tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teletherapy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

(Teletherapy is also known as Cobalt Treatment):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

External Radiotherapy is named Teletherapy and internal is named Brachytherapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Teletherapy is also known as Cobalt Treatment. This is the most frequently used in cancer treatment in El Salvador. It is applied with external radiation at a specific distance from the body. In our Institute we use Cobalt 6, which has a radioactive source that emits high energy Gamma rays.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Treatment is applied daily for 4 to 7 weeks with the purpose of aiming at the affected area with a uniform dose and protecting healthy organs and tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For non-external lesions, higher energy doses are used to ensure fewer early or posterior complications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Brachytherapy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This treatment uses encapsulated radioactive energy placed under the tissues, either in contact (superficial Brachytherapy) or in interior cavities (interstitial Brachytherapy)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Brachytherapy differs from Teletherapy in the fact that the radiation is applied around\/directly to the lesion and less in the surrounding healthy tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Brachytherapy is applied in lower volumes and used exclusively or complementary to Radiotherapy and becomes an essential therapeutic alternative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
