Cancer survival rates have increased threefold in the last few decades because of advances in diagnosis and treatment. Radiotherapy has been used in multidisciplinary cancer control plans for a long time. The current radiotherapy protocols have significantly improved the prognosis of many cancers, with a consequent positive impact on patient longevity. Regrettably, this also means that the latent effects of radiation now have more chance to present themselves, with a corresponding decrease in quality of life.
