In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Pignol et al 1 report the results of a randomized clinical trial that found that intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) delivery of breast ...

With smaller radiation beams, intensity-modulated radiation therapy “takes precision to the next level” for patients with prostate, an expert told CURE®. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) — ...

Photon therapy offers strong outcomes in treating oropharyngeal cancers; however, some radiation can reach and damage nearby healthy tissue. The damage can lead to side effects that may be severe for ...

Intraoral photobiomodulation therapy reduced severe oral mucositis and other adverse effects of radiation therapy in patients with HNC.

Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a sophisticated radiation therapy delivery method that allows sparing of normal tissues and increased doses of radiation which are delivered to the ...

A new study published today in The Lancet showed a significant survival benefit for patients with oropharyngeal cancers who were treated with proton therapy (IMPT) compared to those treated with ...

The ocular plaque consists of an assembly of discrete sources. (A) Cross section of a 12 mm brachytherapy applicator with 16 sources; (B) the applicator is surrounded by 1.3 mm thick gold shielding to ...

The purpose of this study is to compare the cost-effectiveness of two external beam radiation therapy techniques for treatment of low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer: stereotactic body radiation ...

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) should be the preferred choice when treating patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as it reduces radiation exposure to the ...

Radiotherapy aims to deliver a high radiation dose to a tumour, killing all tumour cells. However, from the physical and technical point of view, a difficult task because malignant tumours are often ...
