3-D radiation treatment planning reduces feeding-tube use
Although current surgical techniques and multi-modality treatment regimens allow organ preservation for a growing number of patients with head and neck cancers, remaining dependent on a feeding tube after treatment is a major problem for these patients. view more (2006-11-06)
Research finds antioxidant therapies do not interfere with radiation treatment
Cancer patients can get the vital nutritional benefits from taking antioxidants without the risk of interfering with radiation treatment, according to research findings being presented this weekend at the Society of Integrative Oncology's Third International Conference in Boston. view more (2006-11-10)
Guided radiation therapy for prostate cancer prevents damage to surrounding organs
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have found that highly targeted radiation therapy for prostate cancer can ensure that the majority of persons with this tumor will not have any long-term rectal damage. view more (2007-10-29)
Combining PET and CT scans makes cancer treatment more accurate
Doctors have discovered that combining images derived from positron emission tomography and computed tomography in the planning and delivery of radiation treatment for patients with head and neck cancer leads to more accurate delivery of the radiation dose and an increased chance for survival. view more (2006-05-02)
Art therapy can reduce pain and anxiety in cancer patients

Light therapy could be a new approach to treating patients with pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is notoriously difficult to treat, largely because of the location of the pancreas close to major arteries and vital organs, and the effects of a poorly functioning pancreas on the rest of the body. It is one of the top 10 leading causes of death from cancer worldwide, and in the UK kills around 6500 people every year. view more (2002-03-11)
