Moldcare in Radiation Therapy for Melanoma
May is Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Month.
Melanoma is a serious type of skin cancer that can form anywhere on the body.
Treatment for melanoma will depend on multiple factors including the type, location and size of the cancer and may include surgery, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy including Carbon Ion Radiotherapy.
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.
