MOLDCARE in Radiation Therapy for Lung Cancer

November is World Lung Cancer Month.

Lung cancer is responsible for more deaths each year than any other type of cancer. More than breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers combined.

The Treatment for lung cancer depends on a number of factors including the type of cancer (small cell lung cancer or non-small cell lung cancer) and how far it has spread.

Treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy or a combination of treatment methods.

Radiation Therapy plays an important role in the patient treatment strategy.

During Radiation Therapy the patient must be immobilized in a precise, reproducible and comfortable position.

MOLDCARE customizable patient support cushions are frequently used during radiation therapy to provide a patient specific custom fit resulting in increased set up reproducibility, and improved comfort which helps ensure accurate treatment delivery and the desired patient outcome.

MOLDCARE customizable cushions are activated with a quick spray of water eliminating the need for water bath or oven activation. Since it is MR Safe it can be used in the MR suite. A wide range of sizes and shapes are available for various treatment applications.
