Radiation can be used to treat cancers that are just beneath the surface of the skin, such as skin cancers and certain breast cancers. However, some of these cancers require enhanced dosage or are located on uneven surfaces, making it difficult to administer a uniform and accurate amount of radiotherapy. In these instances, radiation oncologists handcraft accessories to provide a more localized, effective treatment. But the materials used to make these tools are difficult to conform to the patient’s anatomy and can result in air gaps that reduce the radiation dose at the targeted site. 3D printing promises innovative solutions to these problems and more.

Watch now to learn how Formlabs 3D printing is democratizing patient-specific solutions from radiation oncology experts at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM), and USF Health.

What you will learn:

  • Hear how 3D printing is advancing patient-specific radiation therapy today
  • Learn why Formlabs is the preferred 3D printing solution for radiation oncology
  • Participate in a live Q&A with panelists to answer all of your questions

speaker

Samuel Hellman, Ph.D.

Assistant Attending and Director of Mechanical Engineering Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Dr. Hellman is a mechanical engineer with a background in experimental fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, instrumentation, mechanical design, scientific imaging, optics, and additive manufacturing. In addition to his position at MSKCC, he holds an appointment as an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of North Carolina - Charlotte (UNCC). He has experience designing a broad range of mechanical systems and instrumentation for use in research and production environments. These projects span medical, aerospace, manufacturing, and energy production sectors with academic, government, and industrial collaborations. His personal research has been related to experimental laser-measurement systems for flow-structure interactions as well as novel fabrication techniques for medical devices.

speaker

Summer J. Decker, Ph.D.

Director of 3D Clinical Applications USF Health & Tampa General Hospital

Dr. Summer Decker is the Director of 3D Clinical Applications and Vice Chair of Research and Innovation at the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine and Tampa General Hospital. Her team does medical modeling and printing for hospitals across the Tampa Bay area and the US. They hold multiple patents for medical devices developed in their lab using 3D printing. In conjunction with their colleagues at Northwell Health, the USF Health 3D team developed the 3D printed nasopharyngeal swab for COVID diagnostic testing in 2020. Working with FormLabs for distribution, there are more than 70 million of the USF Health designed swab in nearly 60 countries.
