Brachytherapy : Brachytherapy, also referred to as seed implant therapy, is a form of internal radiation which allows the doctor to apply greater more targets doses of radiation to a more condensed area in a shorter period of time than is possible with external radiation treatment. There are two major forms of brachytherapy: Low Dose and High Dose
Low Dose Rate Seed Implantation : Low dose rate seed implantation is a procedure which involves implanting radioactive seeds into the effected area, minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding tissues while permitting a higher dose in the area of the cancer. Generally, the patient can resume normal daily activities within several hours of this procedure.
High Dose Rate Seed Implantation : High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy places a high-energy radiation source(seeds) inside the body near the tumor for just a few minutes and are then removed. The radiation only affects a very small, targeted area in and around the tumor. Highly localized doses of radiation are allowed to be delivered to the tumor quickly. Due to the precision of this technique, patients often experience fewer overall side effects from therapy.

The 'Tumorspickung' has a point count of 14 as opposed to 2 for the last one.
Ok, es könnte sich um eine so genannte HDR-Afterloading-Therapie handeln, in der die Seeds selbstnicht strahlen, sondern während der Therapie vorrübergehend "geladen" werden.
