Over 25,000 women a year in the UK undergo\u00a0radiotherapy following a diagnosis of\u00a0breast cancer. Currently these women lie naked from the waist upwards while up to four radiographers manipulate their breast during treatment set-up. The support device will minimise undignified manipulation of the female breast allowing for accurate field placement while retaining patient modesty. In addition, by providing a reproducible position of the breast each day the requirement for daily on-treatment kilo-voltage imaging should be diminished.<\/p>\n<p>The primary aim of the support device is to stabilise the breast to enhance patient outcomes such as cosmetic appearance of the breast following a course of radiotherapy. With accurate placement each day radiographers can ensure a reproducible dose distribution based on the dose planned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heidi Probst and Heath Reed have won another National Institute for Health Research Invention for Innovation (NIHR i4i) project for Lab4Living.
