OCF news feed has an article about a brand new radiation technology - True Beam
[quote]TrueBeam�s radiation delivery times are 50 percent faster than conventional �intensity-modulated� radiation therapy with up to a five-fold reduction in the number of steps needed to treat patients ...can complete a standard 40-minute radiation therapy in less than a minute for select patients[/quote]
I know nothing about it except what I just read in the OCF news feed but it sounds very exciting for new patients. Right now it's only at Stanford University in Stanford, Calif., and at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York and University of Alabama at Birmingham Comprehensive Cancer Center
so the moral of this message is: keep reading OCF news posts
