Researchers at the University of Waterloo have identified a new method for scheduling radiation therapy that could be as much as 22 percent more effective at killing cancer cells than current standard radiation treatment regimens.
While many mathematical studies have examined how to optimize the scheduling of radiation treatment for maximum effectiveness against cancer, most of these studies assume “intratumoral homogeneity” — that is, that all of the cancer cells are the same. In recent years, however, scientists have realized that tumours are made up of many different kinds of cells….
