Killing more cancer cells than ever before: a new era in radiotherapy (Arabic Edition)

Creators

Description

Radiation revolutionized medicine when it was first used to treat cancer in 1901. Its use, however, has only been able to evolve as far as technical innovation has allowed. Now, thanks to progress in physics, technology and computing, radiation therapy is entering a new era of precision, effectiveness and safety, and the IAEA is helping to ensure advances in radiotherapy reach patients in all parts of the world.
