Overview of Radiation Therapy Services

Irradiation of in vivo and in vitro biological systems can be used as a therapeutic regimen to evaluate effects on tumor growth. It can also be used as a research tool to study the harmful effects of radiation on these systems.

  • Combination radiation/chemotherapy
