Researchers at the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center are testing a new approach to treating early-stage breast cancer — delivering radiation before surgery instead of after. The clinical trial is led by two ...

Radiation is one of the most effective ways to kill a tumor. But these therapies are indiscriminate, and they can damage healthy tissues. UCSF scientists combine a precision drug therapy with an ...
