What does this mean for patients? As one of the only pediatric centers in the country to adopt and use this new technology, CHLA gives patients the best chance at fighting their disease. “If your child needs radiation therapy, we are the only place around using this system,” says Dr. Olch. “It’s difficult to say at this point whether this will necessarily cure more children. But if we can better target their tumors and refine our radiation dosing, we are reducing toxicity and giving kids their best possible chance.”
Dr. Olch is also a Professor of Clinical Radiation Oncology at USC. He co-authored the publication with Kyle O’Meara and Kenneth Wong, MD. Dr. Olch provides consulting services to Sun Nuclear Corporation, who provided PerFRACTION™ software but did not fund the study.
