Radiotherapy is a type of cancer treatment where high-energy radiation, such as x-rays, is directed towards parts of the body to kill cancer cells. Professor Anthony Chalmers and his team hope to increase the effectiveness of radiotherapy in two ways. Firstly, by increasing the ability of radiotherapy to kill neuroblastoma tumours by combining it with drugs which target tumour vulnerabilities. Secondly, by examining the interactions between cells, radiation and drugs the team will uncover new potential targets for therapy
