Electronic brachytherapy is currently used to treat cancers of breast, skin, keloids, spinal metastasis, GI, endometrium, cervix, and rectum. Some of the existing electronic brachytherapy systems such as Esteya and Photoelectric Therapy are limited to small skin cancers due to their specific design.

2019年2月4日 · The American Brachytherapy Society has published its first consensus statement on the use of electronic brachytherapy, which uses electrically generated X-rays instead of radioactive isotopes. Here’s what you should know.

Results show that within the confines of this follow up period, electronic brachytherapy is an effective, convenient, nonsurgical treatment option for patients with nonmelanoma skin cancer with few recurrences and excellent cosmetic results.

2025年1月20日 · Electronic brachytherapy is a cutting-edge form of radiation therapy designed to deliver targeted, high-precision treatment to cancerous areas. Unlike traditional radiation therapy, which often affects surrounding healthy tissue, this innovative approach uses a miniaturized x-ray source to focus radiation directly on the cancer cells.

In contrast, HDR electronic brachytherapy (HDR-EBT) technique allows administration of radiation for non-melanomatous skin cancer without use of a radioactive isotope; its low energy beam alleviates the concern for radiation protection.

PURPOSE: Brachytherapy is utilized in the treatment of many different malignancies; although traditionally performed with low-dose-rate or high-dose-rate techniques, more recently, electronic brachytherapy (EB) has emerged as a potential alternative.

2017年6月2日 · Companies like Xoft and Elekta have begun offering a newer method of brachytherapy called electronic brachytherapy, which utilizes a minuscule X-ray source rather than a device containing radioactive isotopes (Esteya). Why is this X …

2017年4月28日 · The advantages of electronic brachytherapy include low dose to organs at risk, reduced dose to treating staff, no leakage radiation in off state, less shielding, and no radioactive waste. Most of these systems operate between 50 and 100 kVp and are widely used in the treatment of skin cancer.

2019年5月1日 · More recently, electronic brachytherapy (EB) has emerged as an alternative brachytherapy technique for certain disease sites. EB offers several unique features compared to traditional brachytherapy including lower energy (typically < 120 kVp) photons as compared to isotope-based treatment and therefore, reduced shielding needs (1) .

The Axxent cervical applicator is a key component of the Xoft® Axxent® Electronic Brachytherapy (eBx®) System®, empowering targeted intracavitary treatment of cancer of the uterus, cervix, endometrium and vagina.
