Variety of Yale Cancer Center Research Highlights to be Presented at Radiation and Oncology Conference

Physicians and scientists from Yale Cancer Center will take part in the upcoming American Society for Radiation Oncology annual meeting in Boston, September 26 – 30. This is the world’s largest radiation oncology conference where breakthroughs emerge with the goal of advancing cancer survivorship.

Topics of findings to be presented include radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer, mutations in primary breast tumors that predict brain metastases, pelvic radiation for locally advanced rectal cancer in young patients, and advanced endometrial cancer.
