Prof Gordon McVie - ecancer Founding Editor

Prof McVie talks to ecancertv at the 1st international symposium on radiotherapy and oncology in Chile, about the latest in proton beam therapy.  

He discusses how costs have previously been prohibitive to a country's ability to offer this treatment and weighs up the benefits of proton beam therapy against conventional radiotherapy.

Applications and access to proton beam therapy were discussed at the American Society of Clinical Oncology's annual congress by Dr Zhongxing Liao, here, and Dr Madhusmita Behera, here.
