A member asked:
Could you need a body cast making for radiotherapy on colon cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Colon cancer: Is rarely if ever treated with radiation as opposed to rectal cancer which often is treated with radiation/chemo and surgery. Not sure what you mean by a "body cast" but to my knowledge one is not used.
