放射線治療の方法
放射線治療の方法には身体の外から放射線を照射する外部照射法と、放射線源を直接身体の組織や、食道、子宮といった腔に挿入して治療する密封小線源治療があります。どちらかひとつの放射線治療をすることもあれば、外部照射法と密封小線源治療を組み合わせて治療することもあります。最も多く行われている方法は外部照射法のみで行われる治療です。

非密封の放射性同位元素による治療についても簡単に記載します。

Methods of Radiation Therapy
There are two methods of radiation therapy: the external beam radiation therapy (or external beam radiotherapy), the brachytherapy (or sealed-source radiation therapy). The external beam radiation therapy delivers the radiation pointed at a particular part of the body, and the brachytherapy in which a radiation source is inserted into the body next to a tissue, and to cavum such as an esophagus and a uterus.
One of the radiotherapy can be used alone or in combination with each other. The most used method is the therapy only using the external beam radiotherapy.

This paper also includes the brief description of unsealed source radiotherapy.
