MOLDCARE in Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy and Stereotactic Radiation Therapy

Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy is a treatment method offering significant benefits. During hypofractionated radiation therapy the total dose of radiation is divided into large increased doses of radiation delivered to the patient per treatment. The treatments are delivered once a day or less often over a shorter period of time (fewer days or weeks) vs conventional radiation therapy.

If conditions (such as equipment and tumor size etc.) are met, Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (SRT/SBRT) may be applicable.

Patients are able to complete their course of treatment faster than conventional treatment and as a result the patient will likely experience fewer short term side effects. Hypofactionated Radiation Therapy has proven to be as effective as Conventional Radiation Therapy with the same patient outcomes.

Another benefit of the reduced treatment times is the lower cost to the patient.

Actual treatment length using hypofractionation depends on the type of cancer being treated, for example, prostate cancer patients can complete their course of treatment in approximately 2.5 weeks with SBRT and 5.5 weeks with hypofractionation vs conventional treatment which usually takes 8 weeks.

MOLDCARE customizable support cushions are widely used during Hypofractionated and Stereotactic Radiation Therapy providing a patient specific custom fit resulting in increased set up reproducibility, comfort and accurate treatment delivery.
