American Society for Radiation Oncology) High-risk melanoma patients who are treated with radiation after surgery have a significantly lower risk of their cancer returning to the lymph nodes (19 percent), compared to those patients who do not have radiation therapy

American Society for Radiation Oncology) Men who receive a "boost" of proton therapy after receiving a standard course of X-ray radiation therapy have fewer prostate cancer recurrences compared to men who did not receive the extra dose of proton radiation.

American Society for Radiation Oncology) Obesity, not the amount of radiation given, is the greatest factor in whether early-stage lung cancer patients develop chest wall pain after receiving stereotactic body radiation therapy to the chest wall, with obese patients being
