Superficial and orthovoltage radiation therapy are used to treat many conditions with great results. See how Dr. Aurelia Klajer-Peres at Eiffelvet in France uses the Xstrahl system for both curative and palliative conditions.
The purpose of the recent study, Characterization of Inorganic Scintillator Detectors for Dosimetry in Image-Guided Small Animal Radiotherapy Platforms, was to characterize a detection system based on inorganic scintillators and determine its suitability for dosimetry in preclinical radiation research.
Researchers sought to understand the role of kV treatment in locally advanced and/or metastatic breast cancer in which kV radiotherapy was used as the primary modality or as supportive treatment to linac-based RT to gain local tumor control and improve the patient’s quality of life. See details of the recent study, Kilovoltage radiotherapy as a supportive treatment in locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer – a series of six case reports, and the full report on six cases.
Myrna has a history of multiple skin cancers that were treated with Mohs micrographic surgery. During the last year, Myrna was diagnosed twice with basal cell carcinomas (BCC). Her dermatologist, Dr. John Binhlam of Advanced Skin & Laser Center, in Brentwood, Tennessee recommended superficial radiation therapy (SRT) as an alternative to Mohs surgery based on several factors unique to her. Myrna had SRT treatment delivered with the RADiant system, right in Dr. Binhlam’s office.
Michael Crowe, MD, Owensboro Dermatology Associates, Owensboro, Kentucky Obviously, no one on Earth has ever been thrilled with a cancer diagnosis, but for those who have non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), the good news for them is that it is usually treatable....
Pelvic radiotherapy (RT) can cause debilitating bladder toxicities. In the recent study, Prevention of Radiation-Induced Bladder Injury: A Murine Study Using Captopril, researchers sought methods to protect against and alleviate RT-induced late bladder injury. See details and the full study here.
Xstrahl Delivers CIX FLASH, the First Commercial X-Ray Based Preclinical FLASH Irradiator CIX FLASH supports translational research into current and expanded FLASH radiotherapy techniques Xstrahl announced today the first delivery of CIX FLASH, the world’s first...
In the recent study, Orthovoltage X-ray Minibeam Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Ocular Tumours—An In Silico Evaluation, researchers sought to understand radiotherapeutic treatment of ocular tumours. They are often challenging because of nearby radiosensitive structures and the high doses required to treat radioresistant cancers such as uveal melanomas.
Marcia is 74 years old and a great-grandmother from Bell Buckle, Tennessee. Last year, she noticed bleeding from a tiny spot on the tip of her nose. At her next appointment, she had her dermatologist, Dr. John Binhlam, take a closer look. He did a biopsy on the spot, and she was diagnosed with an invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the nasal tip. After a discussion of Mohs micrographic surgery versus nonsurgical superficial radiation therapy (SRT), Marcia chose to have the latter treatment done using the RADiant system at his office, Advanced Skin & Laser Center in Brentwood, Tennessee.
