What Should I Expect?
Electronic Brachytherapy (eBx™) is a form of Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) that delivers radiation from inside the patient close to the cancer. Like conventional external radiation treatment, APBI is used as follow-up treatment to surgery to reduce cancer recurrence. eBx replaces the traditional six and a half weeks of daily treatments with just 10 treatments within five days.
Unlike alternative brachytherapy procedures, which use radioactive isotopes, the Axxent® eBx System uses a nonradioactive electronic X-ray source.
