(EPSRC DTP) Causal Modelling of Cardiac Dose, Tissue Recovery and Survival in Thoracic Reirradiation

Radiotherapy is used to treat many cancers and plays a key role in cancer care. As patients live longer, increasing numbers require a second course of radiotherapy because their cancer recurs or a new cancer develops in a previously treated area. Read more
