A device for radiation treatment of proliferative tissue surrounding a
cavity in an animal body includes at least a first inflatable chamber
having a wall for placement in the cavity, a supportive probe having an
elongated body with a distal end connected with the first inflatable
chamber and a proximal end remaining outside the cavity, a device for
inflating and deflating the first chamber, and a radiation delivering
device for placing at least one energy emitting source within the cavity
for performing said radiation treatment. It is possible to temporarily
position a solid energy emitting source in a reproducible manner at
different locations within the inflated chamber, such that subsequent
identical radiation treatment sessions can be performed, whereas the
comfort of the patient is maxim and an out hospitalization treatment is
possible.
