Radiation Breakthrough: New Hope in Single Dose
On Wednesday, September 29, at 6:00 PM EST, the Cancer Treatment Centers of America are hosting a live webinar about a new and innovative technology that helps cancer patients get well sooner and essentially get back to their lives more quickly.
It’s called Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT) using the Novac7 technology and it allows a single dose of radiation to be administered to a tumor bed during the time of surgery, often eliminating weeks of outpatient radiation treatments.
In this one-hour webinar, you will:
- Hear directly from the doctors who were the first in the United States to use this technology (Steven Standiford, MD, FACS, National Director of Surgical Oncology at CTCA; and Pablo Lavagnini, MD, Director of Radiation Oncology at CTCA) ** At the end of the webinar, Dr. Standiford and Dr. Lavagnini will be taking questions live
- Learn what IORT is and how it works
- Learn who is candidate for IORT
- Hear how IORT benefits patients from both clinical and quality of life perspectives
To register for the event please visit http://www.cancercenter.com/webinar. Registration will be open until one hour prior to the event.
This is a wonderful breakthrough – to think of not having to attend hospital EVERY day for SIX weeks!!!

This sounds really interesting. Although I finished my treatment 4 years ago, I like to keep myself informed of the latest advances so that I can be a better advocate to those newly diagnosed. Thanks for the link
