Brachytherapy, a form of internal radiation therapy, is increasingly recognized for its effectiveness in palliative care, particularly for patients with localized malignancies. This article explores the role of brachytherapy in enhancing the quality of life for patients with advanced cancer. We examine various applications of brachytherapy, including its use in relieving symptoms associated with pain, obstruction, and bleeding. The methodology section outlines the literature review process and clinical studies that provide evidence for the efficacy of brachytherapy in palliative settings. The discussion highlights the advantages and challenges of brachytherapy, emphasizing its potential to improve patient outcomes. Ultimately, this article concludes that brachytherapy is a valuable tool in palliative care, offering significant benefits for symptom relief and quality of life enhancement in patients with advanced cancer.
