Care for patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-related squamous cell cancers of the oropharynx (an area in back of the throat) is shifting toward community cancer centers, but patients treated in this setting may be less likely to survive, according to new research by investigators from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Head and Neck Cancer Center.
UPMC Hillman Cancer Center at Zabok General Hospital in Croatia is expanding access to the most advanced radiosurgery services for people across the country with the introduction of the Varian TrueBeam stereotactic body radiation therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery system. The new system delivers radiosurgery treatment with pinpoint accuracy and image-guided precision in a shorter amount of time than current conventional treatments.
