High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy Department
Erode Cancer Centre, the High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy Department is a vital component of our advanced radiation oncology services. HDR brachytherapy is a cutting-edge internal radiation therapy technique that delivers targeted, high-intensity radiation directly to cancerous tissues. This innovative approach ensures precise treatment while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues, making it an effective solution for various types of cancers, including cervical, prostate, and breast cancers.
What is HDR Brachytherapy?
HDR brachytherapy involves the placement of a radioactive source within or near the tumor site using specialized applicators. Unlike Low Dose Rate (LDR) brachytherapy, HDR delivers radiation in short, high-intensity bursts, allowing for shorter treatment durations and enhanced precision. This technique is particularly beneficial for patients requiring localized radiation therapy with minimal side effects
State-of-the-Art Facilities
The HDR Brachytherapy Department at Erode Cancer Centre is equipped with advanced technology to ensure safe and effective treatment. Key features include:
MicroSelectron HDR Equipment: Cutting-edge devices for precise radiation delivery.
Imaging Guidance: CT and ultrasound systems for accurate applicator placement and treatment planning.
Safety Protocols: Comprehensive measures to protect patients and staff from unnecessary radiation exposure.
Comfortable Treatment Spaces: Designed to ensure patient comfort during procedures.
Personalized Treatment Plans
At Erode Cancer Centre, every HDR brachytherapy procedure is tailored to the individual needs of the patient. The process begins with a detailed diagnostic evaluation to determine the suitability of HDR treatment. Once the treatment plan is finalized, applicators are carefully positioned using advanced imaging techniques. Radiation is then delivered in controlled bursts, ensuring optimal results.
Our multidisciplinary team, including radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and specialized nursing staff, works collaboratively to provide comprehensive care throughout the treatment process. Post-treatment follow-ups are conducted to monitor progress and address any concerns, ensuring a smooth recovery journey.
Benefits of HDR Brachytherapy
Enhanced Precision: High-intensity radiation targets cancer cells directly, minimizing damage to healthy tissues.
