Redefining precision radiotherapy through liquid biopsy

Precision radiotherapy refers to the ability to deliver radiation doses with sub-millimetre accuracy. It does not however consider individual variation in tumour or normal tissue response, failing to maximise tumour control and minimise toxicity. Combining precise delivery with personalised dosing,...

Description
Summary:Precision radiotherapy refers to the ability to deliver radiation doses with sub-millimetre accuracy. It does not however consider individual variation in tumour or normal tissue response, failing to maximise tumour control and minimise toxicity. Combining precise delivery with personalised dosing, through analysis of cell-free DNA, would redefine precision in radiotherapy.
