Abstract

Probe, for example for protection of the rectal and anal wall tissues during radiotherapy, for example an insertable intracavity probe, for example to be used during radiotherapy of a prostate gland, wherein the probe at least includes a shaft having a closed distal tip, wherein the shaft is provided with an inflatable device, for example a balloon and/or a elastic membrane, wherein the inflatable device substantially abuts an outer surface of the shaft when the inflatable device is in a deflated position. The invention also provides a system for planning and delivering radiation therapy treatment of an internal organ of a patient by a radiation emitting device, comprising a radiation emitting device; and a probe according to the invention to be inserted within a cavity of a patient during delivery of a dose from the radiation emitting device.
