New advancements in cancer care technology are drastically reducing treatment times at Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinic in Sheboygan.
The new radiation therapy technology is used for just about any type of cancer and, in addition to the shorter treatment times, has greater accuracy and decreases radiation toxicity to tissue around the treatment area. "Most treatments can be delivered in less than 5 minutes, that's probably 85 percent faster than our previous machine," said Dr. Mitchell Pincus, a radiation oncologist with Aurora.The clinic recently installed a TrueBeam system, new technology that enables patient care that once took 30 minutes to be completed in a quarter of the time. "It improves the delivery and accuracy of the radiation to improve treatment for all cancers and decrease toxicity," Pincus said. "The main benefit of True Beam is it allows us to treat much faster and with better image guidance."
