Microbeams were initially studied in the 1960s to examine cosmic radiation. But it was not until the 1980s that their ...

Microbeams plus radiosensitizers could optimize brain cancer treatment. 21 Jan 2025 Tami Freeman. Targeted Nano Therapies team The University of Wollongong researchers at the Imaging and Medical ...

So-called microbeams may provide a more effective form of radiation therapy with potentially diminished side effects, according to the BBC. The treatment works by zapping individual tumor cells ...

Microbeams refine cancer attack. Radiotherapy can have side effects. A microbeam which fires radiation particles at cancer cells one at a time is helping scientists to refine radiotherapy techniques.

Scientists testing the effects of microbeams have discovered that targeting just a few cells with the futuristic beams can cause massive destruction to other diseased cells.
