Study finds more targeted form of radiation improves survival in patients with head and neck cancers
Patients with cancers of the head and neck who received
intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) - a technology designed to
more precisely target cancer cells and spare nearby tissue -
experienced improved outcomes, as well as reduced toxicities, compared
to patients receiving conventional radiation therapy, according to new
research from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
