This is a short, but interesting, read about some advances in delivering radiotherapy in H&N cancers
Thanks Peter. Yes adaptive RT has become a reality once the physical separation of magnetic imaging and delivery of photons was overcome. Just imagine if you can image the tumour as it shrinks and tailor the beam to match, you can avoid so much collateral damage too.
The next thing is FLASH. Trials in human patients have just started to deliver a whole treatment in less than a second. Linacs can’t deliver that so proton cyclotrons have to be used. But the implications are astounding.
Radiotherapy will look back at what we went through in complete disbelief in a few years.
