Personalizing Radiotherapy Through Real-Time Monitoring of Brain Tissue Oxygenation
Radiotherapy is a common form of cancer treatment that uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. However, it can also damage healthy tissue, leading to side effects such as fatigue, nausea, and hair loss. To reduce these side effects, researchers have developed a new technique called real-time monitoring of brain tissue oxygenation. This technique uses a device to measure the oxygen levels in the brain tissue during radiotherapy, allowing doctors to adjust the radiation dose to better target the cancer cells while avoiding healthy tissue.
