Radiation therapy aims to optimise the conformity of lethal dose to the tumour target while limiting as much as possible radiation-induced side effects to surrounding healthy tissue. Consequently, there has been an escalation in the type of treatments that use a combination of small, irregularly-shaped high-dose beams of megavoltage (MV) Read more…
