Video Summary
In his presentation, Dr. Ryan Urban, a radiation oncologist from BC Cancer in Vancouver, shares his experiences from his fellowship at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in 2022, focusing on gynecological and genitourinary brachytherapy. He commends the state-of-the-art facilities, advanced techniques, and exceptional care provided at Peter MacCallum. He highlights the center’s use of Elekta’s Geneva applicator for combined intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy, which enhances precision and safety, aided by ultrasound guidance (transabdominal, transrectal, and transvaginal). Dr. Urban discusses adapting these advanced practices at BC Cancer, despite not having the same resources. He shares detailed case studies, emphasizing the importance of pre-brachytherapy MRI and the innovative use of ultrasound for improved treatment outcomes. He concludes by lauding Peter MacCallum’s team for their creativity, continuous learning, and patient care excellence.
