Precise Tumor Targeting Using Radioactive Ion Beams

A novel approach to cancer treatment using radioactive particle beams may revolutionize the way we target difficult-to-treat tumors located near sensitive organs, such as the spinal cord and optic nerve.

Traditionally, radiotherapy relies on X-ray beams to eliminate cancer cells; however, this method poses a risk of damaging surrounding healthy tissues, particularly when tumors are situated deep within the body.
