Dose planning results from our The APHRODITE trial trial presented by Debra Howard RTTQA 😊 The trial use a novel mesorectal volume with SIB, implemented in a multicentre setting. Luckily, that’s been feasible, with almost identical OAR doses in the two arms #ESTRO24 #radonc

Fantastic trial of intra-tumoral injection of hydrogen peroxide during RT (releasing O2 around the tumour) with an exciting range of correlative clinical pre-clinical bio studies The ICR The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust ICR-CTSU, led by Navita Somaiah. Look forward to the final results.

Likewise, delighted to have been a part of the set up and TMG for this important trial in #Radiotherapy for soft tissue #sarcoma. A real MDT approach.

Results of the quality assurance programme for image guided #Radiotherapy in the RAIDER trial were published in Radiotherapy and Oncology last week.

During the trial there were ongoing central reviews by RTTQA of the plan selections for the two adaptive tumour focussed groups to assess compliance. This quality assurance programme also included feedback to the site staff and additional training and guidance.
