Post-operative radiation therapy (PORT), a controversial yet frequently administered treatment for lung cancer, may not prolong life in older people with locally advanced disease.

Single radiation to treat breast cancer
The researchers from an international TARGIT research group found a new method of radiotherapy for breast cancer in which the treatment can be reduced to a single radiation exposure.

Refusal to prostate cancer surgery may impact survival
Men who refuse surgery for prostate cancer and instead opt for "watchful waiting" – monitoring cancer progression without undergoing treatment – have a significantly worse long-term survival rate than those patients that choose radiotherapy, according to researchers at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.

Shark cartilage drug AE-941 does not improve lung cancer survival

Radiotherapy delay increases breast cancer recurrence risk
Older women who have had breast cancer surgery have a greater risk of the cancer returning if they delay their post-surgical radiation treatment, report Dana-Farber Cancer Institute scientists.

Prostate surgery improves younger prostate cancer patients survival
For men younger than 50 with prostate cancer, undergoing a radical prostatectomy can greatly increase their chances for long-term survival, according to a new study from Henry Ford Hospital.

CyberKnife cancer robot in Harley Street Clinic and Apollo Hospitals
London's Harley Street Clinic, one of the UK's foremost centres for cancer medicine, has now taken delivery of the revolutionary CyberKnife cancer treatment machine – the first one of it kind in Britain.

Short radiotherapy benefits breast cancer patients
A lower total dose of radiotherapy, delivered in fewer, larger treatments has been shown to be as effective as the international standard of a higher total dose delivered over a longer time to treat women with early breast cancer – according to new research published in the Lancet and Lancet Oncology today.
