IORT with CT-Guided HDR Brachytherapy
This therapy targets the cancer cells directly, reducing the volume of breast tissue exposed to the radiation and the risks involved with the radiation. CT imaging will be used via a multichannel/multi-dwell balloon catheter to better sculpt the cancer away from the heart, skin, and ribs.
