What is the most recent state-of-the-art technology and medical practise in radiation oncology worldwide?
The latest technology in radiotherapy is to minimise damage to the healthy tissues and increase the dosage of radiation emitted to the tumours. While this increases the chances that tumours are brought under better control, it also improves life expectancy and quality of life on the part of the patients. For instance, in cancers of the head and neck region, patients receiving classical radiotherapy treatment experience severe dryness of the mouth in their future lives and this has a negative impact on quality of life. This new technology allows for the minimisation of these side effects. 8-What is the importance of multidisciplinary treatment in cancer and what are the benefits for the patient?
