Among other things, a method for transporting radiation to a body region is described, wherein, in a first step, a canal is formed up to the body region to be irradiated and wherein, in a second step, an applicator () which is fitted to the diameter of the canal is introduced into the canal in order to guide a probe tip. Advantageously, applicator () is formed for use with a radiation therapy device for producing a defined radiation dose for irradiating a body region, whereby applicator () has a base body () with a foot region () for the uptake of at least one component of a radiation therapy device (), a cylindrical guide region () connecting thereto for the uptake of a probe tip of a radiation therapy device, whereby a transition region () is formed between the foot region () and the guide region (), as well as a head region (), which is formed at the distal end () of base body (). The method can be utilized especially for the treatment of tumors in the vertebral column.
