The use of virtual reality technology to improve radiotherapy information for patients with breast cancer

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignancies, affecting one in every seven women in the UK, with a high mortality rate.

However, information-seeking patients with BC can be given maximum information, and the information avoiders should be given minimum information.
