Biella Room (LI 2126)

Almost all of us know friends, neighbors, or relatives who have been diagnosed with cancer. Each year in the US, over 1.5 million new cases are diagnosed and over 500,000 people die of the disease. Many of us know someone who has gone through radiation therapy for cancer. But do we know how radiation therapy works? Do we understand how physicists and engineers have helped to reduced the rate of death due to cancer? Dr. Samy Hanna, an expert in Biomedical Engineering, will explain how we use physics to treat cancer and tell us about recent advances in the field.
