The Revolution in Radiation Therapy

Researchers and clinicians are constantly striving to find new, more effective ways of treating cancer. As a hopeful world looks for the miracle that will cure cancer once and for all, a major revolution in cancer treatment has been quietly taking place in radiation oncology—a revolution that many consider has involved greater, more significant change within the past five years than the field had seen in the prior 30 years. With new research building upon these recent developments, there are many more changes to come. As a result of this on-going revolution in radiation oncology, many cancer patients now have increased chances of survival with a better quality of life.
