  • Radiation Therapy Thermoplastic Mask

    What is a radiotherapy thermoplastic mask? Thermoplastic mask is a immobilization device used for cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. However, most patients have no idea what a radiotherapy thermoplastic mask is. The main function of a radiotherapy thermoplastic mask is to maintain the patient’s position and reduce the displacement of body parts due to involuntary activities, allow them to maintain the correct position during the treatment process. In this way, the target region is irradiated with a precise and defined dose of radiation, minimizing the risk of damaging healthy tissue and reducing the risk of side effects. The materials used in the manufacture of radiotherapy thermoplastic masks are carefully selected to ensure that they are safe and effective for use during radiation therapy. One of the most commonly used materials is a type of thermoplastic polymer, which is a type of plastic that can be heated and molded into a specific…

  • Wearing an radiotherapy mask & How a radiotherapy mask made

    What are radiotherapy masks? Preparing for radiation therapy treatment Knowing what to expect can help patient prepare and reduce any anxiety may be feeling. The thermoplastic mask often used to immobilize patients in radiotherapy can cause varying levels of stress and anxiety. Head and neck cancer (HNC) patients commonly undergo radiation therapy requiring immobilisation by a mask. Some find the mask distressing, described as ‘mask anxiety’. and this can disrupt treatment sessions. Studys show that Mask anxiety impacted a quarter of participants undergoing radiotherapy for HNC(Head and Neck Canner). Some prospective examination of mask anxiety during radiotherapy identified a number of interventions that helped minimise mask anxiety include health professional intervention, self–taught strategies (breath regulation and meditation), music, visualisation and the use of medication. , and patient education to assist preparation for wearing the mask during RT are strategies that could improve current management of mask anxiety. The explanations provided…
