This patient case demonstrates the clinical application of Adaptiiv’s technology used in radiation oncology through the design and fabrication of both modulated and uniform thickness (simple) ...
The following patient case demonstrates the application of Adaptiiv’s technology used in clinical radiation oncology through the design and fabrication of customized bolus to improve the efficacy of treating complex target volumes with electron beams. This case is a great example of how a custom modulated electron bolus (MEB) allowed for a uniform dose distribution of a complex treatment ...
Inhalation, such as smoking or vaping, is more efficient, but has potential health risks compared with more common oral medications. Low levels of CBD in the blood do not mean it isn’t working, Ward noted. ...
ZAP Surgical Systems, Inc. today announced it has received CE mark clearance to the new EU MDR for its ZAP-X® Gyroscopic Radiosurgery® platform. The CE mark makes it possible for healthcare providers to begin treating patients with the ZAP-X system in the European Union. For select indications including many primary and metastatic brain tumors, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is proven ...
VeraForm® placement to assist with localization and delivery of adjuvant radiation Historically, lumpectomies resulted in a scar immediately over the lumpectomy site, dictating delivery of adjuvant radiation on scar location, and frequently on the presence of a seroma. Currently, the question persists as to the optimal means to help direct the radiation oncologist to effectively deliver ...
Radiation therapy choices vary for comprehensive breast cancer treatment. One such option, intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is employed in many centers around the country. IORT using the Zeiss® Intrabeam® System has been proven to be non-inferior to External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) in local recurrence and disease-free survival. IORT’s advantage is one treatment during ...
Head and neck cancer surgery presents a number of unique challenges, not only for the surgeon but for the radiation oncologist who will subsequently treat those patients. Great care with an emphasis on precision must be taken to ensure that critical structures and tissues avoid collateral damage when possible. However, given the surgical site often lies in soft tissue, exact identification of the ...
Additionally, EBRT can require extensive postsurgical follow-up treatment, which means the patient must travel (sometimes daily for up to 6 weeks) to the radiation facility GAMMATILE | SURGICALLY TARGETED RADIATION THERAPY (STaRT) FDA-cleared in 2018, GammaTile surgically targeted radiation therapy (STaRT) is a form of ...
