Dr. Kamakshi Memorial Hospital<\/a> inaugurated a new High Dose Rate Brachytherapy system Flexitron, a robust and precise treatment delivery unit for cancer. Brachytherapy is a form of radiation therapy where a radioactive source is placed inside\/near to the vicinity of the tumor via suitable applicators. This enables the tumor to get maximum doses and a rapid dose fall-off to the surrounding normal tissues. This treatment modality can be used either in combination with external beam radiotherapy or as a standalone treatment for specific cancer sites. Brachytherapy has its significant role in the management of many cancer sites like cancer tongue, Bronchus, Oesophagus, soft tissues, Buccal mucosa, Breast, prostate etc., but brachytherapy to cancer cervix and endometrium is a definitive mode of treatment.<\/p>\n
