Overview
SABR: The Cutting Edge in Radiation Cancer Treatment (Aberdeen Science Festival)
Presented by Dr John McLellan, NHS Aberdeen.
Radiation has been used to treat cancer since the 1800s. However, modern technology has recently opened the door to a treatment technique known as “Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy” or SABR. We now use radiation beams the way a surgeon wields a scalpel, destroying small tumours with very large doses of radiation in organs like the lung and liver. Join us to hear how the growing use of SABR is changing the landscape for so many patients.
