1. |
Basal and squamous carcinomas, particularly of the face, eliminating facial plaster casts and lead shields.
|
|
2. |
Intra oral cancers, and shielding of oral cavity from head and neck irradiation
|
|
3. |
Keloid
|
|
4. |
Tumor treatment with electron, orthovoltage, or brachytherapy techniques at intraoral head and neck, or other body sites to contour electron field
|
|
5. |
Lip carcinoma
|
|
6. |
To lesson the photon treatment energy levels in healthy tissues so as to prevent irreversible cellular damage (i.e.: salivary glandular tissue 4,000cGy, or mandible osteoradenonecrosis <5,000cGy). This would apply where conventional cerrobend blocking techniques were not anatomically feasible or precise.

Laryngeal

8. |
Hypopharnynx

9. |
Nasal Vestibule
|
|
10. |
Inferior half nasal fossa
|
|
11. |
Malignant adenoma of parotid
|
|
12. |
Ethmoid and maxillary sinus
|
|
13. |
Melanoma and associated lymphatics selectively, according to staging, anatomy, surgical technique, etc.
|
|
14. |
Kaposi sarcoma, extra and intraoral
|
|
15. |
Karatoacanthoma
|
|
16. |
Electron shielding of 3 cm or less, as “in accelerator blocking” of electron, for such a small field is not uniform in shielding or dosage. Patient movement with thermoshield on the patient is not as critical
|
|
17. |
Generalized electron field contouring
|
|
18. |
Precise treatment of suspect lymphatic chanel (i.e.: pre-auricular chain while protecting the ear; axillary chain while protecting the breast; inguinal chain while protecting the genitalia)
|
|
19. |
Electron boost following multiple photon sessions(i.e.: breast lumpectomy or elsewhere)
|
|
20. |
Breast, according to staging, size, depth, prior to lumpectomy, etc.
|
|
21. |
Thyroid
|
|
22. |
Esophageal
|
|
23. |
Rhabdomyosarcoma of head and neck
|
|
24. |
Shield construction for presurgical irradiation in approximately 20 minutes
|
|
25. |
Vaginal protection of labia majora and associated radiosensitive, secretory, glandular cells. Provides precise external shielding.
|
|
26. |
Vulva
|
|
27. |
Testicular seminoma. Provides precise protection of associated healthy genitalia
|
|
28. |
Protection from multiple diagnostic X-rays near very radiosensitive tissues and germinal cells (i.e.: testes,ovaries,lens of eye, etc.)
|
|
29. |
Xiphoid process shielding, lung shielding
