Consequently, efforts to reduce long term mortality have focused on reducing exposure to the most toxic aspects of anticancer treatment, including radiotherapy. In this pod cast we’re joined by Daniel Mulrooney, associate professor in the Division of Cancer Survivorship, at St Jude Children’s Research Hospital and one of the authors of the paper Major...
