New Web Site for Answering Radiation Therapy Questions
Kevin Anderson - Wednesday, May 26, 2010
Members of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) created a new web site last fall for helping cancer patients and their families understand the available radiotherapy treatment options. The site includes treatment information, statistics, dictionary of radiation therapy terms, as well as quick links for discovering additional detail. For example, the site notes that nearly 1.5 million Americans will learn they have cancer this year and that 2/3rds of all cancer is treated with radiation.
The site is called RTAnswers.org and looks to be a great resource for the radiation therapy community.
