What's Ahead in Radiation Therapy and Safety
Radiation therapy technology is continually advancing, offering new treatment options and hope to patients with even the most complex tumors. This constant innovation requires ongoing education amongst practitioners to ensure optimal treatment is provided with patient safety in mind. The one-day symposium was supported by Elekta, to provide the cancer community with relevant, up-to-date information on the current state of radiation therapy and information on the future of the technology.
