Radiation therapy is a treatment that uses high-energy rays, like X-rays, gamma rays or protons, to target and destroy cancer cells. It works by damaging the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from ...
Radiation therapy is a cornerstone of lung cancer treatment. But even when delivered with precision, radiation can damage healthy lung tissue. "Try as we might, when we deliver radiation to a cancer, ...
In new research, a team led by University of Cincinnati researchers has identified a potential new way to make radiation more effective and improve outcomes for patients with lung cancer that has ...
Three medical societies claim recent studies have overestimated the potential harms from lung cancer screening and may be deterring patients. Not everyone agrees.
For some patients with early non-small cell lung cancer and lung scarring, stereotactic ablative radiotherapy may be a viable option, research has shown. Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) has ...
Radiation therapy remains one of the most important tools for treating cancer, but experts say patients receiving radiation near the chest should also be aware of potential long-term heart risks.
Radiation exposure to the pulmonary veins during radiotherapy (RT) for non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) raises the risk for atrial fibrillation (AF), according to new findings. Arrhythmia — with AF ...
The University of Cincinnati's Debanjan Bhattacharya is first author of new research published in Cancers that found the drug AM-101 improves the effectiveness and survival rate of radiation treatment ...
An interview with Dr. Megan E. Daly from the University of California, Davis on “Radiation Therapy for Small Cell Lung Cancer: ASCO Guideline Endorsement of an ASTRO Guideline.” An ASCO Expert Panel ...
February 2026 coverage highlighted combination EGFR therapy guidance, chemo-free treatment options, biomarker testing and ...
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have identified a protein linked to an increased risk of metastasis and recurrence in lung cancer. The findings are presented in a study published in the ...
