Electronic Brachytherapy Targets Skin Cancer At The Source
Elekta Xoft® Axxent® Electronic Brachytherapy (eBx®) System® is a leading-edge technology that utilizes an isotope-free x-ray source inside the applicator to deliver a precise dose of radiation within 1mm of the tumor site. This allows a more precise set-up and improves targeting with smaller margins and smaller treatment fields, simplifying the radiation process leading to fewer treatments of higher doses.

The source operates at 50 kV offering a unique combination to deliver high dose rate and low energy radiation. Faster dose fall-off of the low-energy x-ray source minimizes exposure to healthy surrounding tissues and guarantees safety.
This non-invasive procedure can be completed in 8-10 treatment sessions on any externally accessible area on the body. This powerful technology allows dermatologists and radiation oncologists to work together to provide the best possible therapy with the greatest clinical outcomes for skin cancer patients.
