\"Dr.

Radiation Oncologists Dr. Anthony Dragun and Dr. Megan Mezera<\/p><\/div>\n

This week, physicians at MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper<\/a> treated their first patient with a groundbreaking new image-guided radiation treatment system that combines magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and linear accelerator radiation treatment (Linac) into one powerful device. The new device gives radiation oncologists the ability to deliver more effective treatment, while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue in complex cases. MD Anderson at Cooper is one of only five cancer centers in the U.S., and the first in the region, to offer patients this treatment technology.<\/p>\n

The first patient to be treated using the Elekta Unity system at MD Anderson at Cooper was an 80-year-old woman with a tumor on her spine. The patient\u2019s tumor, which is precariously located, made her an appropriate candidate for this precision therapy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an exciting time for us and tremendous news for patients needing radiation therapy,\u201d said Anthony Dragun, MD<\/a>, chair and chief of Radiation Oncology at MD Anderson at Cooper.\u00a0 \u201cIt gives our multidisciplinary team more treatment options, especially for patients with complex and metastatic cancers, and deliver truly personalized cancer care.\u201d<\/p>\n

While MR-guided radiation treatment has been available for a few years, the new technology provides clarity of imaging due to its extremely powerful magnet.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the leading cancer center in the region, MD Anderson at Cooper is committed to offering patients innovative cancer treatment options.\u00a0The availability of the new MR-Linac is the latest example of this commitment,\u201d said Kevin O\u2019Dowd, JD, co-CEO of Cooper University Health Care.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is another first in our arsenal of treatment options at MD Anderson at Cooper, and we are proud to be the first in the region and among only a handful of hospitals in the nation currently to offer this new therapy to our patients,\u201d said Anthony J. Mazzarelli, MD, JD, MBE, co-CEO of Cooper.<\/p>\n

Combining two technologies for one powerful solution<\/strong><\/p>\n

Approximately 50 percent of all cancer patients receive radiation therapy as part of their treatment plan. A primary objective in radiation therapy is to deliver the proper dose of radiation to the tumor without harming surrounding healthy tissue. Because the location of a tumor can shift as the patient inhales and exhales during treatment or as the tumor itself changes, maintaining accuracy can be challenging, explained Dr. Dragun.\u00a0 \u201cThe device acts as a GPS system \u2013 continuously monitoring the tumor as it moves and readjusting the radiation beams in real time \u2013 for the ultimate in precision.\u201d<\/p>\n

While MRI and linear accelerator technologies have been used separately for years to diagnosis and treat cancer, until now the two technologies could not be used together because of the MRI\u2019s magnetic field and its effect on the accelerator\u2019s laser beam.<\/p>\n

MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, MD Anderson at Cooper\u2019s clinical partner, was part of the international consortium instrumental in developing this new technology. This technology was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2019.<\/p>\n

Treatment with this new device is available at MD Anderson at Cooper\u2019s outpatient center located at 715 Fellowship Road in Mount Laurel, NJ<\/a>. \u201cOur outpatient center in Mount Laurel provides easy access and convenient hours. We look forward to offering this new service to patients,\u201d said Megan Mezera, MD<\/a>, director of the MR Linac Program.<\/p>\n

MD Anderson at Cooper will continue to offer a full range of advanced radiation therapy treatment option<\/a>s at its Camden and Voorhees locations.<\/p>\n

About MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper <\/strong><\/p>\n

MD Anderson C\u00e1ncer Center en Cooper es el Primer Centro Oncol\u00f3gico de la Regi\u00f3n en Tratar a Pacientes con Tecnolog\u00eda Innovadora de Tratamiento con Radiaci\u00f3n<\/h2>\n

Onc\u00f3logos Radioterapeutas Dr. Anthony Dragun y Dra. Megan Mezera<\/strong><\/h4>\n

La semana pasada, los m\u00e9dicos del MD Anderson C\u00e1ncer Center en Cooper<\/u><\/a> trataron a su primer paciente con un nuevo e innovador sistema de tratamiento de radiaci\u00f3n guiado por im\u00e1genes que combina la resonancia magn\u00e9tica (MRI) y el tratamiento de radiaci\u00f3n con acelerador lineal (Linac) en un dispositivo poderoso. El nuevo dispositivo brinda a los onc\u00f3logos radioterapeutas la capacidad de brindar un tratamiento m\u00e1s efectivo, mientras minimiza el da\u00f1o al tejido sano circundante en casos complejos. MD Anderson en Cooper es uno de los cinco centros oncol\u00f3gicos en los EE. UU. Y el primero en la regi\u00f3n que ofrece a los pacientes esta tecnolog\u00eda de tratamiento.<\/p>\n

La primera paciente en ser tratada con el sistema Elekta Unity en MD Anderson en Cooper fue una mujer de 80 a\u00f1os con un tumor en la columna. El tumor de la paciente, de localizaci\u00f3n precaria, la convirti\u00f3 en una candidata adecuada para esta terapia de precisi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

\u201cEste es un momento emocionante para nosotros y una gran noticia para los pacientes que necesitan radioterapia\u201d, dijo Anthony Dragun<\/u><\/a>, MD, presidente y jefe de Oncolog\u00eda Radioter\u00e1pica en MD Anderson en Cooper. \u201cLe brinda a nuestro equipo multidisciplinario m\u00e1s opciones de tratamiento, especialmente para pacientes con c\u00e1nceres complejos y metast\u00e1sicos, y brinda atenci\u00f3n oncol\u00f3gica verdaderamente personalizada\u201d.<\/p>\n

Si bien el tratamiento con radiaci\u00f3n guiada por resonancia magn\u00e9tica ha estado disponible durante algunos a\u00f1os, la nueva tecnolog\u00eda brinda claridad de im\u00e1genes debido a su im\u00e1n extremadamente poderoso.<\/p>\n

\u201cComo centro de c\u00e1ncer l\u00edder en la regi\u00f3n, MD Anderson en Cooper se compromete a ofrecer a los pacientes opciones innovadoras de tratamiento contra el c\u00e1ncer. La disponibilidad del nuevo MR-Linac es el \u00faltimo ejemplo de este compromiso\u201d, dijo Kevin O’Dowd, JD, codirector ejecutivo de Cooper University Health Care.<\/p>\n

“Esta es otra primicia en nuestro arsenal de opciones de tratamiento en MD Anderson at Cooper, y estamos orgullosos de ser los primeros en la regi\u00f3n y entre los pocos hospitales de la naci\u00f3n que actualmente ofrecen esta nueva terapia a nuestros pacientes”, dijo Anthony J. Mazzarelli, MD, JD, MBE, codirector ejecutivo de Cooper.<\/p>\n

Combinando dos tecnolog\u00edas para una soluci\u00f3n ponderosa<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aproximadamente el 50 por ciento de todos los pacientes con c\u00e1ncer reciben radioterapia como parte de su plan de tratamiento. Un objetivo principal de la radioterapia es administrar la dosis adecuada de radiaci\u00f3n al tumor sin da\u00f1ar el tejido sano circundante. Debido a que la ubicaci\u00f3n de un tumor puede cambiar a medida que el paciente inhala y exhala durante el tratamiento o cuando el propio tumor cambia, mantener la precisi\u00f3n puede ser un desaf\u00edo, explic\u00f3 el Dr. Dragun. “El dispositivo act\u00faa como un sistema GPS, monitoreando continuamente el tumor a medida que se mueve y reajustando los rayos de radiaci\u00f3n en tiempo real, para obtener la m\u00e1xima precisi\u00f3n”.<\/p>\n

Si bien las tecnolog\u00edas de resonancia magn\u00e9tica y de acelerador lineal se han utilizado por separado durante a\u00f1os para diagnosticar y tratar el c\u00e1ncer, hasta ahora las dos tecnolog\u00edas no pod\u00edan usarse juntas debido al campo magn\u00e9tico de la resonancia magn\u00e9tica y su efecto sobre el rayo l\u00e1ser del acelerador.<\/p>\n

MD Anderson C\u00e1ncer Center en Houston, socio cl\u00ednico de MD Anderson en Cooper, fue parte del consorcio internacional que fue fundamental en el desarrollo de esta nueva tecnolog\u00eda. Esta tecnolog\u00eda fue aprobada por la Administraci\u00f3n de Drogas y Alimentos de EE. UU. En 2019.<\/p>\n

El tratamiento con este nuevo dispositivo est\u00e1 disponible en MD Anderson en el centro ambulatorio de Cooper ubicado en 715 Fellowship Road en Mount Laurel, Nueva Jersey<\/u><\/a>. \u201cNuestro centro ambulatorio en Mount Laurel ofrece f\u00e1cil acceso y horarios convenientes. Esperamos poder ofrecer este nuevo servicio a los pacientes \u201d, dijo Megan Mezera, MD<\/a>,<\/u> directora del Programa MR Linac.<\/p>\n

MD Anderson en Cooper continuar\u00e1 ofreciendo una gama completa de opciones de tratamiento de radioterapia avanzada <\/u><\/a>en sus ubicaciones de Camden y Voorhees.<\/p>\n

Acerca del MD Anderson Cancer Center en Cooper<\/strong><\/p>\n

En octubre de 2013, Cooper University Health Care<\/a> y MD Anderson Cancer Center en Houston, Texas, se asociaron para crear MD Anderson Cancer Center en Cooper. MD Anderson es uno de los principales hospitales oncol\u00f3gicos del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n

Esta asociaci\u00f3n es una integraci\u00f3n cl\u00ednica completa entre nuestros dos programas. Los m\u00e9dicos de MD Anderson en Cooper se adhieren a la misma filosof\u00eda, procesos y pautas establecidas por MD Anderson en Houston, y los pacientes reciben los mismos est\u00e1ndares de pr\u00e1ctica comprobada y planes de tratamiento proporcionados en MD Anderson.<\/p>\n

Hoy en MD Anderson en Cooper, los pacientes tienen acceso a m\u00e1s ensayos cl\u00ednicos, as\u00ed como a una gama completa de servicios de atenci\u00f3n de apoyo.<\/p>\n

Se brindan servicios avanzados e integrales para el c\u00e1ncer en nuestras ubicaciones de Camden, Voorhees y Willingboro. Las ubicaciones del Cooper Digestive Health Institute est\u00e1n totalmente acreditadas por MD Anderson en las ubicaciones de Cooper que brindan servicios innovadores de prevenci\u00f3n, detecci\u00f3n y tratamiento del c\u00e1ncer gastrointestinal. Se brindan servicios cl\u00ednicos de c\u00e1ncer adicionales en m\u00faltiples ubicaciones en todo el sur de Jersey, incluidos Mount Laurel, Sewell y Egg Harbor Township.<\/p>\n

Acerca de Cooper University Health Care<\/strong><\/p>\n
