Researchers at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford are developing new accelerator-based technology called PHASER (Pluridirectional High-energy Agile Scanning Electron Radiotherapy) that aims to speed up cancer radiation therapy by hundreds of times and make related medical devices more compact.
The approach could reduce side effects in patients and possibly make radiation therapy more accessible around the world.
