Radiation oncology firm Elekta plans to use the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology's (ESTRO) annual meeting in Vienna next week for the European launch of its Esteya electronic brachytherapy system for treating skin cancer.
Esteya features high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy with a miniaturized x-ray source close to the cancer site. The technology is designed to focus more therapeutic radiation on the disease target and to minimize radiation to surrounding tissues and organs.
Elekta also will show its Versa HD treatment system and Monaco 5 treatment planning system at the ESTRO event.
