The Use of MOLDCARE in Radiation Therapy for Cervical Cancer

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness month.

It is a time to raise awareness about this disease and its impact on women worldwide.

Cervical Cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus. It is the fourth most common cancer among women globally with an estimated 600,000+ new cases and over 30,000+ deaths each year. When diagnosed early and treated promptly, cervical cancer can be cured.

The treatment for cervical cancer depends on various factors including but not limited to the stage of the cancer, the patient's overall health, and their preferences. Surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy are potential treatment options, either alone or in combination.

Among these radiation therapy plays a crucial role in treating cervical cancer. During radiation therapy immobilization and positioning are critical for accurate treatment delivery.

To aid in this process MOLDCARE customizable patient support cushions are frequently used during radiation therapy for cervical cancer. Patients are commonly treated in a supine position.

MOLDCARE cushions provide a comfortable patient-specific custom fit immobilization, resulting in set-up reproducibility and accurate treatment delivery.

MOLDCARE cushions are activated with a quick spray of water, eliminating the need for a water bath or oven activation, making them extremely easy to use.

For more information on the use of MOLDCARE customizable cushions in the treatment of cervical cancer, please refer to the attached research paper list.
