Barbara Jereczek-Fossa, Full Professor of Radiation Oncology at Milan University, Chair of Radiation Oncology at the European Institute of Oncology, Milan, Italy, President of ESTRO, shared a post by IEO Istituto Europeo di Oncologia on LinkedIn, adding:
“Proud of our amazing Brachytherapy Team at IEO Istituto Europeo di Oncologia and Brachytherapy Teams worldwide.
Thank you for your dedication every single day.”
Quoting IEO‘s post:
“At IEO, brachytherapy is part of an integrated care model, based on collaboration between specialists, the use of cutting-edge technologies and the personalization of treatments to meet the needs of each patient.
It is a form of radiation therapy that treats the tumor from the inside with extreme precision, allowing the dose to be concentrated directly at the site of the disease and reducing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
The Brachytherapy Unit, part of the Division of Radiotherapy and Proton Center IEO, operates with dedicated teams and with continuous research and innovation activities. Thanks to this multidisciplinary expertise, the method now represents an important therapeutic opportunity for various oncological pathologies, with the aim of combining treatment effectiveness and quality of life.
The Brachytherapy Awareness Day is an opportunity to increase knowledge about precision therapy and enhance the daily work of doctors, health physicists, technicians and all the professionals who contribute to making increasingly personalized treatment possible.”
