There are two different types of brachytherapy: low dose rate (LDR) and high dose rate (HDR) (wikidot).

LDR is administered with needles.

HDR is administered outside the body (wikidot).

Iridium 192’s released electrons damage nearby cells and will eventually kill cancer cells (Wikipedia).

Very effective compared to similar treatments with to many waste products or not as localized treatment (Wikipedia).

And no harmful side effects.
