A new study has revealed a breakthrough in radiotheranostics, a form of molecular imaging which allows for a more precise and effective delivery of radiation therapy. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have developed a technique that combines the use of molecular imaging with radiation therapy to reduce both the efficacy and safety risks associated with the treatment. This technique will allow doctors to more accurately target radiation to cancer cells, reducing the risk of side effects and improving the effectiveness of the therapy. This breakthrough could have a huge impact on how radiation therapy is delivered in the future, and could improve outcomes for many cancer patients.
