LDR Brachytherapy with Cesium-137 – Precision Cancer Care at Erode Cancer Centre
At Erode Cancer Centre, the Low Dose Rate (LDR) Brachytherapy Department is a cornerstone of our advanced radiation oncology services. Utilizing Cesium-137, a highly effective radioactive isotope, LDR brachytherapy delivers targeted and continuous radiation to cancerous tissues, ensuring precise treatment while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. This innovative approach is particularly effective for treating specific cancers, including cervical, prostate, and certain head and neck cancers.
What is LDR Brachytherapy with Cesium-137?
LDR brachytherapy involves the placement of a radioactive source, such as Cesium-137, directly within or near the tumor site. This method allows for a continuous and localized radiation dose over an extended period, effectively destroying cancer cells while preserving the integrity of nearby healthy tissues. Cesium-137 is widely recognized for its stability and effectiveness, making it an ideal choice for LDR treatments.
Advanced Facilities and Technology
The LDR Brachytherapy Department at Erode Cancer Centre is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to ensure precision and safety throughout the treatment process. Key features include:
Advanced Imaging Systems: CT and ultrasound guidance for accurate placement of applicators.
Modern Afterloading Equipment: Ensures precise delivery of Cesium-137 to the targeted area.
Stringent Safety Protocols: Comprehensive measures to protect patients and staff from unnecessary radiation exposure.
Personalized Treatment Plans
At Erode Cancer Centre, every LDR brachytherapy procedure is tailored to the individual needs of the patient. The process begins with a thorough diagnostic evaluation to determine the suitability of LDR treatment. Once the treatment plan is finalized, applicators are carefully positioned using advanced imaging techniques. Cesium-137 is then delivered to the tumor site, providing a continuous radiation dose over the prescribed duration.
Our multidisciplinary team, including radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and specialized nursing staff, works collaboratively to ensure optimal outcomes. Post-treatment follow-ups are conducted to monitor progress and address any concerns, ensuring a smooth recovery journey.
