Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center today announced that the Xoft® Axxent® Electronic Brachytherapy System® is now available to treat patients with early stage breast cancer. Dr. Negar Golesorkhi and Dr. David Weintritt, breast surgeons at the National Breast Center, and Dr. Susan Boylan, Radiation Oncologist, Radiation Oncology Associates, treated the first patient at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center on May 16, 2013.
The Xoft system, when utilized for Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT), delivers a single, prescribed, targeted dose of isotope-free radiation directly to the tumor cavity during surgery, thereby minimizing radiation to healthy tissue and organs and eliminating the need for a shielded treatment environment. Typical radiation therapy methods for breast cancer include whole breast radiation, which involves daily treatments for five to seven weeks, and partial breast irradiation where 10 treatments are delivered over a period of five days.

Whirlwind isn’t the word for the weekend that police from Bergen County – particularly a Westwood patrolman and county sheriff’s officer — showed Nathan Norman, a 6-year-old cancer survivor from Virginia who won the world’s hearts with a simple Christmas wish.
Try: hanging at the Yankee Stadium batting cage with Mariano Rivera and Robinson Cano, crossing the goal line at MetLife Stadium, taking a harbor boat cruise to the Statue of Liberty and riding an NYPD mount – in full police gear, including the visored helmet.
And that’s just for starters.
The seeds for Nathan’s Big Apple visit were planted last December, when the terminally ill youngster told his parents that his one Christmas wish was to receive holiday cards from New York’s first responders.
