Dr. Daniel Nader: Brachytherapy is internal radiation that we can give to the lung and tumors that block off bronchial tubes. When tumors block up bronchial tubes it can be very devastating. It could cause shortness of breath, cough, coughing of blood and pneumonia, and by relieving that obstruction we can relieve the pneumonia, relieve the coughing of blood, improve shortness of breath and relieve cough.

Real Patients. Real Stories. Real Hope.

Do these videos feature real cancer patients?

Yes, the videos in this section feature real CTCA survivors with real stories to tell. These are not actors. They are cancer patients who came to CTCA and emerged as survivors. These stories are not scripted. They are personal accounts of people who found hope, and a voice, at CTCA. This is what they have to say, in their own words...

Why are some, not all, cancer types listed?

At CTCA, we treat individuals with a variety of cancer types. However, all of our survivors are not on film. If you don't see a survivor with the cancer type you're looking for, it only means we do not have a video at this time.

Keep in mind, we are continuously adding videos to this section. If you don't see the one you're looking for today, visit us again, or let us know how we can improve.
