Electron Radiation Therapy

radiation therapy primarily focuses on superficial diseases on the skin surface, such as skin cancers, mycosis fungoides and some lymph nodes. Electrons are also quite effective in treating a surgical bed where a tumor was removed (e.g breast)..Since electrons are considered a superficial treatment, maximum penetration occurs only a few centimeters (cm) beyond the skin surface, sparing deeper healthy tissue.

Electrons are particles with a negative charge. Electron beams cannot travel very far through body tissues. Therefore, their use is limited to tumors on the skin or near the surface of the body.

Orthovoltage (low energy) x-rays can effectively treat recurrent cutaneous lymphoma lesions, but its penetration to underlying tissues (blood vessels, muscles, bone marrow) is a disadvantage if the disease is widespread. In contrast, electron beam therapy delivers radiation primarily to the superficial layers of the skin.

IMRT

IMRT (Intensity-modulated radiation therapy) is an advanced treatment modality, allowing a higher, precise dose to the targeted tumor area, while minimizing radiation to surrounding normal healthy tissue.

IGRT

IGRT (Image-guided radiation therapy) uses advanced imaging techniques monitor patient motion and tumor movement to ensure the intended targets are treated consistently.

3D CONFORMAL

Using CT based treatment planning, our Oncologists will have a three dimensional (3D) visualization of the tumor area, along with the surrounding organs and normal healthy tissue. A complex treatment plan will be created using “beam shaping leaves” to outline the tumor volume plus margin while “blocking” (sparing) the surrounding organs and healthy tissue.

SRS

Stereotactic Radiosurgery usually involves a single, high dose radiation treatment to very small brain tumors. Using frameless immobilization techniques, state of the art image guidance, maximum dose can be delivered to an extremely precise tumor area, while minimizing exposure to the surrounding healthy tissue.

TREATMENT MODALITY

SBRT

While similar to SRS, Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy delivers high dose radiation treatments to small tumor areas over a course of 2-5 visits. Treatments are done every other day. With the use of image guidance, tumor localization is achieved to ensure consistent radiation treatment to the intended target while minimizing exposure to normal healthy tissue’s is utilized for multiple areas of the body.
