Brachytherapy on Bebig Multisource Device in Kharkiv
Brachytherapy on the German Bebig Multisource system is the most modern method of contact radiation therapy in oncology. This technology allows delivering maximum radiation doses directly to the tumor with minimal impact on healthy tissues.
What is Brachytherapy?
Brachytherapy (from the Greek "brachys" — short) is a radiation therapy method in which a radioactive source is placed inside or in close proximity to the tumor. Unlike traditional external beam radiation therapy, the radiation travels a short distance, which provides:
- High precision in tumor irradiation
- Minimal exposure to surrounding healthy tissues
- Possibility of using higher radiation doses
- Reduced treatment duration
- Fewer side effects
Advantages of the Bebig Multisource System
Multifunctionality
The device is designed for safe and accurate intracavitary, intraluminal, interstitial, intraoperative, and surface treatment of tumors.
Built-in Dosimetry System
Ensures precise dose delivery with minimal damage to healthy tissues due to real-time monitoring.
Complete Set of Applicators
The kit includes all necessary applicators for all types of brachytherapy, ensuring adaptability to any clinical case.
Miniature Radiation Source
A unique miniature Iridium-192 source allows the radiation dose to be delivered exactly to the target.
3D Treatment Planning
The modern planning system creates individual 3D models of the tumor and surrounding tissues.
International Standards
Our medical physicists and radiation oncologists have been trained in leading clinics worldwide.
Indications for Brachytherapy
Brachytherapy on the Bebig Multisource device is effectively used in the treatment of:
Gynecologic Oncology
- Cervical cancer (all stages)
- Endometrial cancer
- Vulvar cancer
- Vaginal tumors
- Breast cancer (as a boost after surgery)
Urology
- Prostate cancer (low and intermediate risk)
- Bladder tumors
- Urethral cancer
- Penile cancer
Other Locations
- Skin cancer (basal cell, squamous cell carcinoma)
- Head and neck tumors
- Rectal cancer
- Esophageal tumors
- Tracheal and bronchial tumors
- Pancreatic tumors
- Eye tumors (retinoblastoma, melanoma)
- Soft tissue sarcomas
- Biliary tract tumors
How is Bebig Brachytherapy Performed?
Diagnosis and Planning
Comprehensive examination: CT, MRI, Ultrasound to determine exact size, type, and localization of the tumor. Creation of a 3D model for treatment planning.
Individual Treatment Plan
Medical physicists and radiation oncologists develop a personalized irradiation plan using mathematical modeling and modern software.
Applicator Placement
Special applicators are placed into or near the tumor under imaging guidance (Ultrasound, CT). The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia.
Irradiation Session
The applicator is connected to the Bebig device. A miniature radioactive source automatically moves according to the programmed plan, delivering precise radiation doses.
Completion of Procedure
After irradiation (from several minutes to several hours), the radiation source and applicator are removed. No radioactive materials remain in the body.
Our Team
The procedure is performed by a multidisciplinary team including a radiation oncologist, a medical physicist, a dosimetrist, and an oncology nurse. All specialists have undergone specialized training in leading European clinics and have extensive experience with the Bebig system.
