Gerry Hanna, Consultant in Radiation Oncology at Trinity College Dublin, Member Board of Directors at Irish Cancer Society, shared post on LinkedIn:
“This month’s edition of Radiotherapy and Oncology includes this brilliant paper led by Dr Neil Wallace and A/Prof Susan Harden and colleagues at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.
In a world first, they report a pilot study of ‘one stop shop’ of single day treatment of lung cancer with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy.
- Early lung cancer can be treated by radiotherapy within a single hospital visit
- Patients are satisfied with same-day sim-plan-and-treat SABR for early lung cancer
- Modern technology and workflows allow more expedient radiotherapy planning
Congratuations to all the team including:
Mark Burns, Vanessa Panettieri, Nick Hardcastle, Michael MacManus, Shankar Siva, Mark Shaw, Mary Duffy.”
