Radiotherapy remains a key treatment modality for both primary and metastatic brain tumors. Significant technological advances in precision radiotherapy, such as stereotactic radiosurgery and intensity-modulated radiotherapy, have contributed to improved clinical outcomes. Notably, however, molecular genetics is ...
People thought they were going to make radiotherapy obsolete so there's been a huge gap in research and funding over the last 10–20 years. But radiotherapy is the second most effective modality in curing cancer next to surgery, and technical advances mean our ability to give high doses to ...
