UT Southwestern Radiation Oncology Team Joins Jump4June Challenge for Uterine Cancer Awareness – IGCS

IGCS shared a post on X:

“The Radiation Oncology team at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, USA took the Jump4June Challenge to raise awareness for Uterine Cancer Awareness Month!
This incredible group of providers, nurses, therapists, and staff is highlighting the vital role radiation plays in cancer care. Submitted by Dr. Kevin Albuquerque
Radiation therapy is often used after surgery to destroy any remaining cancer cells—helping reduce the risk of recurrence and improve outcomes for patients. Brachytherapy is often used for gynecologic cancers, which involves placing radioactive seeds or wires directly into or near the tumor to deliver a concentrated dose of radiation. This is sometimes called internal radiation and this allows for precise targeting of the cancerous tissue while minimizing exposure to healthy surrounding areas.
IGCS is proud to see clinical teams around the world, like this one, taking part in the Jump4June challenge and standing in solidarity with those affected by uterine cancer.”
