Brachytherapy Services at yasrebi Super Specialty Hospital

Brachytherapy is a method of cancer treatment in which radiation is delivered in close proximity to or directly inside the tumor. At yasrebi Super Specialty Hospital, this advanced treatment is provided free of charge.

Types of cancers treatable with brachytherapy include:

• Gynecological cancers (uterus and cervix)

• Prostate cancer

• Esophageal cancer

• Breast cancer

• Skin cancers

One of the major advantages of brachytherapy is that it delivers high doses of radiation directly to cancerous cells while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. This targeted approach improves treatment outcomes and significantly reduces side effects.

Brachytherapy is often used as a complementary treatment for patients who have undergone external radiotherapy. It allows clinicians to increase the radiation dose precisely where it is needed, maximizing the chances of completely eradicating the tumor.

yasrebi Hospital is the first medical center in Isfahan province and neighboring regions to offer brachytherapy services. Approximately 80% of patients receiving brachytherapy here come from other cities and provinces.

Notably, cranial brachytherapy—a procedure that had been discontinued in Iran for years—has been successfully performed at this hospital.

To ensure comfort and convenience for cancer patients and their companions, the hospital provides free traditional-style accommodation nearby. Furthermore, a 42-unit companion residence facility, generously donated by philanthropist Haj Seyed Ali Asiri (a former patient of this center), is under construction. This facility spans 4,800 square meters and is currently over 95% complete.
