@aislingbarryro Whilst good to see, it doesn't go far enough. SABR gives better local control than TACE and should be offered to patients. Repeating multiple TACE procedures and not considering SABR is lunacy.
๐ขLast month the Radiation Oncology team in GUH marked a major milestone in the treatment of prostate #cancer as the 1,000th patient underwent prostate seed implantation at the hospital.

Great to see positive radiotherapy news stories in the media. Congratulations to @Dr_AJC and @NICCBeamTeam colleagues. Slight inaccuracy in the headline ...kidney SABR available in Dublin, Cork and (soon) Galway. Great to have a non-invasive option for suitable patients #SABR
New Brachytherapy Suite up and running in Galway University hospital, Radiation Oncology Centre exciting times ahead.Well done all @CancerUniGalway @CormacSmall @saoltagroup @hseNCCP@IANOcancernurse
IRELAND 1-0 BRITAIN
The Irish doctors team have won the World Cup! We are the world champions!!! Fergal Moran scores the winning goal to bring the cup home to Ireland!
๐Let's talk about HCC and TACE vs SBRT! LRT have 2 keys jobs, downstage prior to transplantation, Overall, to date several RCTs(usually without MVI) have been done which all provide evidence for double LC with SBRT , although no OS benefit has been found to date.
We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone in Ireland that has supported us already. ๐
We have made a video to outline our efforts.

Looking forward to initiating Prof.Armstrongโs SOURCE trial for NSCLC at site today with Laura & Aoife from @cancertrials_ie@alinamihai2000 is Principal Investigator at site
@DrewMoghanaki@gerryhanna Completely agree resection would always be preferred but in these medically inoperable groups, despite local control falling with increasing size/volume perhaps SABR may be a better option for patients than conventional EBRT. I wonder what most centre's size 'cut-off' is?
