Precise form of radiation may improve survival for patients with metastatic cancer: study

Cancer researchers in B.C. say a highly precise form of radiation treatment may improve survival rates in cases where the disease has spread to different parts of a patient’s body. The study, recently published in the journal The Lancet, was led by BC Cancer along with a team of international researchers. The group sought to find out how Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) technology could be used to treat patients with metastatic cancer, which is when the disease has spread from the
