Abstract

A single treatment catheter is provided for delivery of brachytherapy radiation in combination with intratumoral injection into tumor tissue with a single skin and tumor insertion site. The catheter also enables precise delivery of anti-cancer agents, such as immunotherapy or other medical substances, to specific locations within the tumor with radiographic confirmation of the injection delivery area and location.
