Jacqueline Hewett[email protected]Radiation Oncology/TherapyQA records shed light on radiotherapy patient errorsThe computerization of radiation therapy planning and treatment can be a double-edged sword, both reducing and increasing the risk of errors. But computerization does make treatment safer, according to a 10-year analysis of errors at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.May 16, 2012Radiation Oncology/TherapyTiny oxygen generator boosts radiotherapyA tiny oxygen generator that can be implanted directly into the hypoxic center of tumors using a biopsy needle has been unveiled by researchers in the U.S. The micro-oxygen generator could potentially improve the efficacy of radiotherapy.November 1, 2011Radiation Oncology/TherapySoftware estimates motion effects for proton dose planningTumor motion due to respiration is a serious problem when it comes to ensuring that a scanned proton beam delivers the planned dose to a given target volume. Now, software simulating the delivery of a scanning proton beam to a moving lung tumor is resolving this problem.October 31, 2011Radiation Oncology/TherapyGold nanoparticles boost radiotherapy efficacyBy using gold nanoparticles with conventional megavoltage x-rays, researchers are predicting that tumor vasculature will receive a significant enhancement in local dose. Not only could this dose boost promote vascular shutdown in tumors, the hope is that it will suppress metastases and improve patient outcomes.February 16, 2011Page 1 of 1Top StoriesMolecular ImagingWill FAP-targeted theranostics live up to their promise?Fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-targeted theranostics is an emerging technique in the battle against cancer.CTPCCT boosts diagnostic accuracy for coronary stent assessmentAssociationsSCREENS for Cancer Act reintroduced into CongressMolecular ImagingDeuterium metabolic imaging could help diagnose dementiaSponsor ContentJoin us June 3 for a Free Webinar
