A ground-breaking radiotherapy trial for adult brain cancer patients will take place at UCLH to see if proton beam therapy – where a high energy proton beam targets tumours very precisely – can minimise some of the side effects of standard radiotherapy.

Prescilia was one of the first patients to be treated at our #protonbeam therapy centre. She was 9 when she was diagnosed with a rare benign brain tumour.

Now aged 11, we caught up to see how she’s doing & look back on her treatment as we mark the #NHS75: https://t.co/sPSsXNnnIV

Here’s my take on how therapeutic radiographers sit at the point where scientific theory meets real life and why it’s so crucial for patients and radiotherapy that we are actively engaged in research. Thanks to @CR_UK for asking me to write this piece ☢️💪 https://t.co/5pvGD6uHot
