Hello. I'm Doctor Clayton Hess, founder of CureRays Radiation Medicine. Let me walk you through this page: Innovation.

The CureRays Institute works on the right course of radiation for each person — the fractionation and delivery strategy that holds the cancer while sparing normal tissue, matched to what that patient actually wants from treatment.

Here is what you'll find on this page.

The correct schedule, not the shortest one. Shorter courses get the attention, and for many patients fewer visits genuinely is better — less travel, less time off work, less disruption.

The levers we study. Temporal fractionation. Dose per fraction and total dose, set against the α/β ratio of the tumour and of the normal tissue in the field; Spatial fractionation. Deliberately non-uniform dose — GRID, lattice, minibeam — as a way to spare normal tissue within the treated volume. The evidence here is early and largely preclinical or single-arm, and we say so; Delivery technique. Superficial, conformal, stereotactic or image-guided: which geometry puts the least dose where it is not wanted.

Options and choices, patient by patient. The practical output of this work is not a single recommended schedule.

Here is what you can do next.

The research behind this.
