New tracking tech aims to sharpen prostate cancer radiation
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study tests a method called KIM that uses small gold markers in the prostate to track movement during radiation therapy. If the prostate moves more than 3mm, the radiation beam pauses and is realigned. The goal is to see if this technique is practical and accurate for everyd…
