A New Method To Calculate High Radiation Doses During Radiotherapy

In a recent study, researchers from the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC-RadiotherapyJames) have designed a new mathematical model to determine radiation doses delivered during several conditions such as treating cancer patients.

High Radiation Doses Can Improve Brain Cancer Survival

According to a recent study, using high radiation doses while targeting the stem cell niche in the brain can improve brainsurvival rate for glioblastomas (a type of brain cancer) patients by almost the double. The study was published in the online edition of the journal BMC Cancer.
