Tips:
The medical subject heading or MESH for today's topic "radiation oncology" is "Radiation Oncology". In order to narrow the results from PubMed MEDLINE, the reference staff has applied date (5 years), language (English), and species (human) restrictions. The search results have been broken down into Subheadings with the Radiation Oncology as a profession and body sites. We are using the MESH term for prostate and breast cancer "Prostatic Neoplams" and "Breast Neoplasms" respectively with the Subheading as "radiotherapy". Searches were performed April 06, 2005. Please note that this is just a small portion of information on this topic.
