The shape of cancer treatments to come
Over the last few years, radiotherapy treatment of cancer has become more successful through using so-called conformal techniques. This means that the 3-D shape of the radiation administered is adjusted or 'conformed' to match the shape of the tumour, thus minimising damage to surrounding healthy tissue. However, if the patient moves during... view more... (2000-09-06)
Risk of surgery for lung cancer lower at teaching hospitals
