Understanding Radiation Exposure and Improving Patient Outcomes from Radiotherapy - Part 1

Explore epidemiological approaches to understanding radiation exposure effects from radiotherapy in this informative presentation by Professor Amy Berrington, Team Leader in Clinical Cancer Epidemiology at The Institute of Cancer Research. Delve into topics such as radiation side effects, universal carcinogens, background data, excess cancers, and advanced treatment techniques like intensity-modulated radiotherapy and proton therapy. Gain insights into study design and research opportunities in the UK. Learn how these findings contribute to improving patient outcomes and minimizing long-term risks associated with radiotherapy treatments. This 17-minute video is the first part of a two-part webinar series, with the second part available for further viewing.
