Radiotherapy (RT) is highly effective at directly killing tumor cells and plays an important part in cancer treatments being delivered to around 50% of all cancer patients. The additional immunomodulatory properties of RT have been investigated, and if exploited effectively, have the potential to fur...
Radiotherapy treatment is a complex process that requires the entire radiation oncology team working together to ensure safe and effective treatment of patients. There are many guidelines and recommendations for best practices to help standardize workflows, but it is the unpredictable scenarios ...
Radiation therapy, also know as radiotherapy, X-ray therapy, cobalt therapy, or irradiation, is useful in fighting cancer because it destroys cancer cells more easily than normal cells. Radiotherapy is commonly delivered with an external beam of x-rays, gamma rays or alpha and beta particles dir...

Information about the types of radiotherapy, surgical procedures, and the status of chemotherapy was later included in the program. One of the main targets of the SEER program is to record cancer incidences and mortality rates for the entire US population. To provide insight into the potential ...
The therapy can go hand in hand with other forms of treatment like radiation therapy (chemo-radiotherapy), with the exposure to light (photo-chemotherapy) and surgery. History The term ‘chemotherapy’ was initially referred to as the treatment of non-oncological procedures including the antibiotics...
The goal of this review is to summarize the rationale for and feasibility of hippocampal sparing techniques during brain irradiation. Radiotherapy is the most effective non-surgical treatment of brain tumors and with the improvement in overall survival f
