Tailoring prostate cancer radiotherapy to body clock could cut long-term side effects

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20261030/Tailoring-prostate-cancer-radiotherapy-to-body-clock-could-cut-long-term-side-effects.aspx A study by Leicester researchers shows that the timing of radiotherapy treatment may be as important as how it is given for prostate cancer patients. Researchers at the University of Leicester have discovered that a patient’s genetic makeup and the time of day they receive radiotherapy can work together to influence their risk of developing long-term side effects for treatment of prostate cancer.
