May 1st, 2007
A 36-year-old female lung cancer patient has become the first person in Switzerland to be treated using a highly-targeted radiotherapy technique called extra-cranial stereotactic radiotherapy. Using state-of-the-art equipment from Varian Medical Systems, the team at Lindenhofspital in Bern has successfully delivered three highly-focused, powerful radiotherapy doses aimed at destroying a small tumor on the patient’s lung.
