MOLDCARE in Radiation Therapy for Head & Neck Cancer

April is Head & Neck Cancer Awareness Month.

Head and neck cancers include cancers that occur in the head and neck region including mouth, throat, and voice box.

Treatment will depend on multiple factors including the type, location and size of the cancer and may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy or a combination of treatments.

During head and neck Radiation Therapy the patient must be immobilized in a reproducible and comfortable position.

MOLDCARE customizable patient support cushions are frequently used during head and neck radiation therapy (in combination with a mask) providing a patient specific custom fit resulting in increased set up reproducibility, and improved comfort which helps ensure accurate treatment delivery and the desired patient outcome.

MOLDCARE customizable cushions are activated with a quick spray of water eliminating the need for water bath or oven activation. A wide range of sizes and shapes are available for various treatment applications including breast, extremities etc.
