Brain radiotherapy

Improve the success rate of brain cancer treatment Pinpoint radiation for the life beyond

Radiation therapy for brain tumors is usually given in several steps:
• Diagnosis and indication
• Planning of brain radiotherapy
• Simulation of radiotherapy for the brain tumor
• Delivery
• Follow-up care

Radiotherapy equipment images improve the effectiveness of radiotherapy for brain tumors. In the radiotherapy plan, the location and size of the tumor can be precisely identified through imaging. Physicians and radiation physicists jointly determine the radiation dose on the basis of CT images on the computer. The radiation fields for brain radiotherapy are checked in a simulation and devices for fixation, such as the RPS head, are adapted.

Tomotherapy

Also available for Tomo therapy
systems Improve the accuracy

According to industry estimates, the radiotherapy market is growing by six to ten percent each year. Studies on the global growth in the radiotherapy market correlate with the increase in cancer cases. Accordingly, brain cancer radiotherapy will also continue to grow. Combined with new therapies, brain cancer radiotherapy will further improve patients‘ chances of recovery in the future. Today, numerous brain tumors can already be prevented from growing further by radiotherapy, which can delay the course of the disease by years. A very good treatment option in the field of radiotherapy is tomotherapy, in which the rays can be directed at the patient from all sides. Supplemented with the RPS mini and the RPS Head, angular errors can be corrected to optimally position the patient.

The RPS Head is an inexpensive and easy-to-use tool for adjusting angles in all three directions by up to 4 degrees. The interaction of both systems results in optimal radiation results in radiotherapy of the brain, while side effects are avoided as much as possible.

Fractioned radiotherapy

Take care on the deviation between the
immobilization setups and correct it easy

Radiotherapy is commonly used to treat brain tumors because it is usually gentler than surgery. Head and neck radiotherapy are continuously being developed and improved for the benefit of patients. Radiotherapy for brain tumors is usually fractionated, which means that several radiation sessions are necessary. This gives the body’s healthy cells time to recover between sessions of head and neck radiotherapy. To avoid side effects, the radiation field is narrowed as much as possible and tailored to the tumor. With a radiotherapy mask, the patient’s head is fixed to the treatment table via the RPS head to prevent involuntary movements or minimal deviations caused by the patient’s breathing.

Stereotactic radiotherapy

Improve the immobilization accuracy
For a better life beyond

Radiotherapy for brain cancer may be combined with other therapies, such as chemotherapy or surgery. Because of the head’s easy mobility, immobilization is very important during radiotherapy to the area of the head or neck. For this purpose, a treatment mask is modeled which can be fixed to the treatment table via the RPS head. The RPS head allows fine angular correction for optimal immobilization during radiotherapy for brain cancer. Stereotactic radiotherapy has improved overall patient survival in the treatment of brain cancer.

The precision of stereotactic radiotherapy allows radiation to be delivered at high doses that significantly improve the success of the treatment while sparing the surrounding normal tissues.
