the biologically equivalent dose or the beed is roughly the same now at 39.9 gray given in in 15 treatments versus the old 50.4 gray that was given in say 25 to 28 treatments

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

it was sort of 50 60 gray back and so this brings up a point I need to kind of emphasize it's not so much the total dose it's the dose per fraction so how quickly are you getting it so the standard of care was actually 50 gray rather than today's 40ish gray but it would usually be given in two gray per fraction daily doses rather than the 2.6 2.7 that we're using now
it was sort of 50 60 gray with the modern treatment now
