- This allows more radiation to treat the tumor while reducing the radiation to healthy tissues. See conformal radiation therapy. Internal radiation: a type of therapy in which a radioactive substance is put into or close to the area needing treatment. Also called brachytherapy.Interstitial radiation (IN-ter-STISH-uhl) : a type of internal radiation in which a radioactive source (implant) is put right into the tissue (not in a body cavity).yperfractionated radiation (HI-per-FRACK-shun-ate-ed) : a radiation schedule in which the radiation is given in smaller doses and more than once a day, but the overall length of treatment is the same. Compare to accelerated radiation.
