Mice can be used to model the types of cancer seen in people to investigate the effects of cancer therapies, such as radiation. Here, we apply radiation therapy treatments that are able to cure cancer in humans to mice that have cancer of the prostate or colorectum. We show that the mice do not experience many side effects and that the tumours reduce in size, but in some cases show progression after treatment. Our study demonstrates that mice can be used to better understand how human cancers respond to radiation treatment, which can lead to the development of improved treatments and treatment schedules.
