Brachytherapy for uterine cancer is internal radiation. A radioactive source is placed directly into the vaginal vault or uterus. In Istanbul, JCI-accredited clinics use 3D brachytherapy and CT-guided planning. This approach delivers precise doses that spare the bladder and rectum.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Many think of radiation as a long hospital stay. But Istanbul clinics like Memorial Bahçelievler perform this as a 20-minute outpatient procedure. The average cost in Istanbul is _op_718_city_107$5,300. Patients save about 71% compared to the US average of $18,000.
Patient Consensus: Patients report the procedure is short and less painful than external radiation. Most advise using vaginal dilators post-treatment to maintain flexibility and manage local scarring.
