Using Breath Hold Technique Helps Radiotherapy Hit Treatment Targets
Respiratory movement during radiotherapy makes it difficult to hit the correct treatment target and this in turn can lead to an under-dose of radiation to the tumor, or a potentially toxic overdose to the surrounding healthy tissue. More...07 Jun 2012
Salivary Gland Damage in Head and Neck Cancer Patients Avoided by Stem Cell-Sparing Radiotherapy
Researchers believe they may have found a way to avoid damaging salivary glands during radiotherapy treatment for head and neck cancer--a discovery that could improve the quality of life of 500,000 patients per year worldwide with the disease. More...06 Jun 2012
Highly Targeted Irradiation Works as Well as Whole Breast Radiotherapy in Early Stage Breast Cancer
Hungarian researchers have revealed that by using a concentrated, highly targeted dose of radiation to the breast has equally good results as irradiating the whole area, with no adverse effects on survival and a much better cosmetic outcome. More...05 Jun 2012
