We are excited to partner with BioProtect for this episode, with our distinguished guest, Dr. Jonathan Tward, a Radiation Oncologist and tenured professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Utah Health. Dr. Tward will fill us in on a progressive new technology that aims to minimize both short and long-term side effects of radiation therapy for prostate cancer.
