At NMC As Salama Hospital, Brachytherapy is performed using advanced radiation-planning systems and personalized treatment protocols. Established in 2001, this CBAHI accredited hospital in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia has 120 beds and offers comprehensive oncology and radiation therapy services.

Brachytherapy may be recommended when localized radiation treatment is appropriate for a particular tumor. During the procedure, the radiation source is positioned within a body cavity, tissue, or directly near the tumor using specialized applicators or catheters. Depending on the clinical situation, high-dose-rate or low-dose-rate brachytherapy may be used. Doctors determine the radiation dose and placement based on the tumor's location, size, type, and treatment goals.
