curietherapy
Curietherapy, also known as brachytherapy, is a form of radiation therapy used in the treatment of cancer. In this treatment method, a small, sealed source of radioactive material is placed inside or close to the area of the body affected by the disease. This ensures that a high dose of radiation is delivered directly to the cancerous cells, causing them to shrink or disappear, while minimizing damage to the surrounding healthy cells. The term "curietherapy" comes from Marie Curie, who greatly contributed to the development of radiotherapy.
