• Question: Do you think that, sometime in the future, all cancers could be completely curable by radiation therapy alone, or does a cure (if it exists) lie in some entirely different method?

      I think in the future it will be a combination of many different technologies. Even now, many patients are receiving chemotherapy as well as radiotherapy, just to be sure that one (or both) of them are working and not to take any chances. More drugs are being developed all the time, and the technology behind radiotherapy is getting more and more sophisticated so that only the tumour cells are targeted

      I think in the future we will have a lot of way to deal with cancer cure. These ways are present currently but all in testing phase…:)
