Queens University Belfast researchers are the first to examine patients' genes to determine treatment.
Research into personalised radiotherapy treatment for prostate cancer is under way at Queen's University Belfast.Dr Victoria Dunne, who's been awarded £280,000 for her research said it was "exciting and a privilege to be involved".
"Basically two men would receive a different treatment if they came forward because they have different genes. That could include the amount of radiotherapy during treatment," she added.Image caption,The project will combine the treatment with drugs that stop cancer cells from being able to repair their DNA to see whether this improves its effectiveness.

In Northern Ireland, the percentage of men surviving for five years after a diagnosis of prostate cancer has increased from 66% between 1996-2000 to 87% between 2011-2015.
