Next-Gen Radiotherapy: Making Cancer Treatment Safer and More Targeted
For more than a century, radiotherapy has been a mainstay of cancer treatment, employing high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. Numerous lives have been saved by conventional techniques like brachytherapy and external beam radiation, but they frequently have negative side effects because they harm nearby healthy tissues. Radiotherapy has been transformed over the years by…
