Updated Resource Available For Skin, Bladder Cancer Patients

The American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology has updated its brochures Radiation Therapy for Bladder Cancer and Radiation Therapy for Skin Cancer to include the most up-to-date information for patients who are deciding whether radiation therapy is the best treatment option for them.

Both brochures include more detailed information about the different types of treatment available for these cancers and, more specifically, the different types of radiation therapy available. Since cancer treatments can be taxing on the body, new sections were added to inform patients on how to best care for themselves while receiving treatment. Patients will be able to use these brochures to educate themselves on radiation therapy before discussing it as a treatment option with their doctor.
