16.05.2024 | Hope or hype: can upright treatment increase access to advanced radiotherapy?
Upright radiotherapy, in which a patient is treated in an upright position rather than lying down (supine), is an old technique that’s seen a resurgence of interest recently. At the ESTRO 2024 meeting, experts in the field discussed the potential benefits and ongoing challenges of upright radiotherapy – in a quest to discover whether the approach offers hope or is merely hype.More
