Breast cancer almost always leaves its mark on patients. Along with surgical scars and changes in breast size and shape, medical tattoos or semi-permanent marker dots and lines were drawn on the patient’s chest to align radiotherapy beams, like checkpoints on a map.Upon Further RefleXion
The RefleXion X1 radiation treatment platform is the first to integrate PET/CT imaging with a medical linear accelerator. Using a PET signal identifying the tumor while also depicting its biology, RefleXion treats patients with unique biology-guided radiotherapy (BgRT). The UT Southwestern Department of Radiation Oncology is one of a handful of centers worldwide with this treatment capability.Upgrading HDR Brachytherapy
High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is a procedure where the patient receives a dose from a powerful radioactive source for a few minutes per treatment session, after which the source is removed. The radioactive source, stored in an afterloader unit, travels through special applicators that then deliver the dose to the site of the tumor.A Beacon of Hope in the Fight Against Pancreatic Cancer
