Radiotherapy: A Story of Saving a Life and a Little Girl’s Sight

28-Apr-2009

When a seven-year-old girl arrived at the Hadassah Medical Center with a cancerous tumor in her eye that caused her eyeball to bulge, Hadassah’s Radiotherapy and Oncology teams fought to save her life and her sight. Thanks to a combination of high-powered focused radiation and chemotherapy, they succeeded. Today, Dalia is a healthy young girl with full vision in both her eyes.
