Clinical evidence of HDR Prostate #Brachytherapy is shifting the landscape in Canada and worldwide. This targeted therapy is gaining traction as both monotherapy and as a boost for high-risk and unfavorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer. HDR brachytherapy as a boost after EBRT (external beam radiation therapy) has risen significantly as a trend in Ontario. Simultaneously, radical prostatectomies have decreased, thanks to evidence-based guidelines recommending brachytherapy for high-risk cases. Historically, urologists favored prostatectomy over brachytherapy due to perceived side effects. However, Odette Cancer Centre now emphasizes multi-disciplinary assessments, where 70% of patients opt for radiation therapy. Brachytherapy is making waves, offering precision and safety for #prostatecancer patients. Read the article from Gerard Morton ➡️ https://bit.ly/42ADapK

According to the WHO, cervical cancer is highly preventable, thanks to increased screenings and the HPV vaccination. It also is one of the most treatable cancers when detected early. Despite this, it remains the fourth most common cancer worldwide. Radiotherapy is an important tool in treating cervical cancer, with high-dose, image-guided brachytherapy (IGBT) being an essential component for managing locally advanced cases. #HPVawareness Ref: https://bit.ly/41pAIkW
