I am committed to brachytherapy because it’s delivers radiation directly to where it needs to go and lets patients get back to feeling like themselves before being diagnosed with cancer. #BrachytherapyAwarenessDay.

🎗️ 12 Days Until #BrachytherapyAwarenessDay 🎯 High dose to the tumor. Low dose to healthy tissue. The unique physics of Interventional Radiotherapy (#Brachytherapy) allows radiation to be delivered directly inside or next to the tumor, producing a steep dose fall-off that protects surrounding healthy organs. ✅ Better tumor control ✅ Less toxicity ✅ Organ preservation ✅ Improved quality of life Maximum tumor control. Minimum collateral damage. ❤️ Brachytherapy saves lives. #RadiationOncology #PrecisionMedicine #CancerTreatment #ThisIsBrachytherapy @UKT_RadOnc @uktuebingen @degro_ev @ASTRO_org @AmericanBrachy @ESTRO_RT @AmericanCancer @OncoDailyRT @oncodaily @OncoDailyGu @OncoDailyBreast

🎗️ 11 Days Until #BrachytherapyAwarenessDay ✨ Postoperative HDR #Brachytherapy for #Keloid scars After surgical excision, interstitial brachytherapy can significantly reduce the risk of recurrence by delivering a high dose to the surgical scar while sparing healthy surrounding tissue. 📍 Start ideally within 24 hours after surgery. 🎯 3–4 Gy/fraction 🎯 Total dose: 10–20 Gy Treat the scar. Prevent the recurrence. ❤️ Brachytherapy improves lives. #InterventionalRadiotherapy #RadiationOncology #PlasticSurgery #Dermatology #PrecisionMedicine #ThisIsBrachytherapy
