Twice-daily radiation therapy cuts deaths from head and neck cancer

(ECCO-the European CanCer Organisation) Treating head and neck cancer patients with a twice-daily radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy could save more lives.

The researchers hope that this can be achieved without increasing side effects.
