Where is brachytherapy commonly found?

• A. In medical facilities or cancer treatment centers
• B. In nuclear power plants
• C. In veterinary clinics
• D. In fitness centers

Answer: (A)

Brachytherapy places radioactive sources directly in or near the tumor, which requires specialized equipment, shielding, dosimetry, and trained medical staff with strict radiation safety protocols. Because of these needs, it is performed in medical facilities or cancer treatment centers. Nuclear power plants are for energy production and do not provide medical radiation therapy. Fitness centers do not handle radiation therapy, and while some veterinary oncology centers may offer radiotherapy, brachytherapy is most commonly found in hospital or dedicated cancer treatment settings.
