Title

Radiotherapy fraction size sensitivity is modulated by DNA repair & cell cycle checkpoints

Synopsis

The results of a recently clinical trial led by professor Yarnold revealed that breast cancer cells can be killed by smaller doses of radiotherapy than other cancers.

Aims & Goals

The project will help develop simpler, more effective ways of treating breast cancer patients with radiotherapy and will lead to a reduction in side effects from receiving unnecessarily high doses of radiation.
