Radiotherapy process.
I. Adjuvant radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery: 2-3 times of positioning are needed
1.Outpatient consultation for radiotherapy indications, registration and appointment for positioning.
2.First positioning: CT simulation positioning.
3.Second positioning: after the design of radiotherapy plan is completed, the bed is moved and reset under the conventional simulator, with an interval of about 1-3 weeks from the first positioning.
4.Appointment for film verification and treatment at the service desk of radiotherapy department (2nd basement level of the 1st building) with treatment order.
5.Third positioning: mainly for those who need additional irradiation of the tumor bed.
Second, adjuvant radiotherapy after mastectomy: in two ways
Conventional under-simulator positioning + CT simulation positioning optimization: usually only 1 time positioning is needed.
1.Outpatient consultation for radiotherapy indications, registration and appointment for positioning.
2.Conventional under-simulator positioning, determination of the irradiation range, and CT under-simulator scanning.
3.After the radiotherapy plan design is completed, go to the radiotherapy department service desk (2nd basement level of the 1st building) with the treatment order to make an appointment for radiograph verification and treatment.
CT simulation positioning: usually 2 times of positioning are required.
1.Outpatient consultation for radiotherapy indications, registration and appointment for positioning.
2.First positioning: scanning under the CT simulator.
3.Second positioning: after the radiotherapy plan design is completed, the bed is moved and reset under the conventional simulator, with an interval of about 1-3 weeks from the first positioning.
4.After the radiotherapy plan design is completed, go to the radiotherapy department service desk (2nd basement level of the 1st building) with the treatment order to make an appointment for radiograph verification and treatment.
Caution.
1. The limited number of machines in our hospital can no longer meet the needs of the increasing number of patients, therefore, the waiting time from positioning to treatment is long and requires patients and their families to remain patient.
2. at any time during treatment, it is important to keep the ejection field marker lines on the body clearly visible as a guarantee of accurate treatment, and the physician will generally provide a filler line at a set time each week
3. Follow up the treatment reaction weekly during the treatment period and contact the doctor for timely treatment.
