Experimental drug could prevent cancer DNA repair to boost radiotherapy effects
Treating bladder and head-and-neck cancers with an experimental drug called CCT244747 makes radiotherapy more successful at killing them, scientists have discovered.
Frequent MRI scans help to target bladder cancer
A new radiotherapy technique could help doctors to focus treatment more precisely on tumours in the bladder and reduce damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
Fine tuning radiotherapy for breakthroughs in treating bladder cancer
Bladder shape, capacity and position vary between individuals, making radiotherapy in patients with bladder cancer a real challenge. But now researchers at ICR are working with the bladder’s unpredictability to deliver better radiotherapy for a type of cancer that has traditionally been hard-to-treat.
