Therapy Radiation Intracavitary

Intracavitary radiation therapy (IRT) is a method of radiation therapy in which a source of ionizing radiation is introduced directly into the body cavity or into the lumen of a patient’s hollow organ.

Indications for performing T.l.v. are malignant tumors located in hollow organs or body cavities - the esophagus, stomach, uterus, vagina, bladder, etc. This method allows you to deliver a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor, while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue as much as possible.

Sources of ionizing radiation at T.l.v. Most often, radioactive isotopes are used (for example, cesium-137, iridium-192, cobalt-60), which are placed in special applicators. The applicators are inserted into the cavity or lumen of the organ and left there for the required irradiation time.

T.l.v. can be used as an independent method of radiation therapy or in combination with external beam radiation therapy or chemotherapy. A correctly selected dose and irradiation regimen can achieve a good therapeutic effect with minimal damage to healthy tissue.

Introduction

Intracavitary radiation therapy (IRT) is a treatment that uses radiation to fight cancer in a body cavity or inside a hollow organ cavity. It involves introducing a radioactive source into a tumor or cavity and exposing it to a certain amount of radiation for a certain period of time. This method has been known for many decades and has recently been shown to be more effective in treating brain cancer.

VPT technologies are constantly being improved and modified to provide patients with more accurate and reliable procedures. As a result, its effectiveness is increased and side effects are significantly reduced.

How does VPT therapy work?

TBT is an advanced form of radiotherapy that is used to treat a variety of cancers, including lung, cervical and ovarian, prostate and lymph node cancer. Technologically, VPT is based on a high-tech device known as a beam machine. The installation is located inside the operating room. During treatment the tumor
