Radiation therapy is a safe and effective treatment that can benefit half of all cancer patients, and the introduction of an appropriately planned, managed, and resourced 3D printing programme can increase that benefit in terms of the radiation therapy patient experience, staff engagement, treatment accuracy and improved treatment outcomes, in addition to monetary savings.
