Not all tumours are solid. Mesothelioma, for example, is a cancer that grows in the mesothelium – the membrane surrounding the lungs. The spread of mesothelioma makes it difficult to target this cancer with a radiation beam without causing unwanted damage to the lungs and other vital healthy tissues. For Read more…
When an electric field is applied to living cells, their membrane suffers electrical stretch forces. Depending on the electric field amplitude and duration, the cell shape is deformed and free ions can be transported across the membrane. There are also additional osmotic forces and water leakage through the pore(s) formed. Read more…
With a desire to provide new treatment options for ventricular tachycardia patients with high-risk features, recent early data has suggested that a cardiology and radiotherapy collaboration may provide a viable option. Initial experiences with cardiac SABR have shown promising results and the collection of further data will help drive the Read more…
