MOLDCARE in Radiation Therapy for Childhood Cancer

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

Childhood (or pediatric) cancer is a cancer found in children, teens, and young adults.

The most common childhood cancers are leukemia, brain and other central nervous system (CNS) tumors, and lymphomas.

The treatment method selected will depend on multiple factors including but not limited to the type of cancer and may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy or a combination of treatments.

Radiation Therapy plays an important role in the treatment of childhood cancers. During Radiation Therapy the child must be immobilized in a comfortable, precise and reproducible position.

MOLDCARE customizable cushions are frequently used during pediatric radiation therapy (such as SBRT and Proton Beam Therapy) to provide the comfortable immobilization needed to ensure set up reproducibility and accurate treatment delivery.

Since MOLDCARE is activated with a quick spray of water it comfortable for the pediatric patient. There is no need for a hot water bath or oven activation.

MOLDCARE is MR Safe and can be used in the MR suite.

There is a wide range of sizes and shapes available for various treatment applications.
