This Sunday is World Radiotherapy Awareness Day! 🌍✨
Did you know that World Radiotherapy Awareness Day is celebrated on September 7 because on this day in 1953, the very first patient was treated with a linear accelerator? That innovation changed cancer treatment forever. 💡
Today, radiotherapy (or radiation therapy) continues to make a difference...helping cure cancers, improve quality of life, and extend survival for patients around the world.
To celebrate, JMIRS will be sharing articles and stories ALL WEEK that showcase the importance and impact of radiotherapy. 💙📖
The brand-new September issue of the Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences will also feature powerful articles on the evolution and future of radiotherapy. So share, repost and let’s recognize the incredible work of medical radiation professionals who bring this essential care to life. 💪🎗️
