Next step is translational analysis of serial tumour samples to understand 1. Why tumours respond more or less than others 2. how RT/anti-PDL1 impacts the TME and response evolution. 👀Watch this space Nigel B. Jamieson Joanne Edwards Owen Sansom 🏳️‍🌈 ACRCelerate CRUK Scotland Inst

Radiation is leveraged in 50-60% of all cancer cases but only 9% of the folks involved in writing our treatment guidelines come from the specialty. Source: advancesradonc.org/article/S2452-…

This was a key study from 2024 that supports an “SBRT first” approach to non-surgical mgt of HCC, with RFA utilized whenever SBRT might be less safe. The hepatologists I know, who don’t deliver either treatment, concur. Do yours? cc Laura Dawson

We’ve seen this movie before over the past 2 decades. Trying to replace curative (RT) treatment with non-curative drugs. It’s never ended well, at least not yet.
