The Monte Carlo simulation revealed that the mean cost and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) for SBRT and IMRT were $22,152 and 7.9 years and $35,431 and 7.9 years, respectively. The sensitivity ...

A new paper published in EPJ Plus and authored by Eduardo De Paiva, from the Division of Medical Physics at the Institute of Radiation Protection and Dosimetry, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, pits the gold ...

Treatment with a certain radiation therapy worsens quality of life in patients with prostate cancer. An expert explains ways to mitigate side effects. Patients with prostate cancer who receive ...

Advanced imaging, particularly PSMA PET scans, enhances detection of microscopic disease, allowing for more precise treatment ...

IMRT uses a linear accelerator, a computer-controlled machine that’s about the size of a small car. It sends high-energy radiation or X-rays to cancers. IMRT doesn’t hurt. You shouldn’t feel anything ...

Lung resection after initial nonoperative treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was safe and led to significantly improved survival in select patients previously treated with nonoperative ...

Our radiation oncologists use the latest technology available for radiation therapy. It’s important to understand how radiation therapy fits into your rectal cancer treatment plan. This information ...

Radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy) uses high-energy beams or subatomic particles to damage the DNA inside prostate cancer cells. After enough damage, the cells cannot multiply, and they die.
