Kill the cancerous tissue with radiation therapy and leave the healthy tissue untouched. Save the patient while sparing them as much as possible from treatment side effects.
These advances can improve the quality of life for the patient during treatment. And for many types of cancer, improve targeting, reduce recurrence, and improve survival rates,” said May Abdel-Wahab, Director of the IAEA’s Human Health Division.
More people with head and neck cancer in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) may be able to access radiotherapy, after research carried out by the IAEA showed that fewer but higher doses of radiation treatment resulted in similar clinical outcomes to standard radiotherapy treatments.
