How has radiotherapy evolved since the Curies' time?
Since the time of the Curies, radiotherapy has evolved significantly. Technological advancements have led to more precise targeting of tumors, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Imaging techniques such as CT scans and MRI are now used to guide radiotherapy, ensuring higher accuracy. Innovations like proton therapy and gamma knife surgery are modern extensions of the principles discovered by the Curies, offering more effective and less invasive treatment options.
