📊 A new #ESTROVBRO study analysed 3700+ papers on #radiotherapy innovations (2012–2022): 🔹Only 1% randomised controlled trials 🔹Mostly observational 🔹Endpoints varied widely ➡️ “One-size-fits-all” evidence doesn’t work, RT needs a tailored approach. 👉 bit.ly/4orbHPp

🚨 New Guidelines alert: Urinary organs-at-risk for radiotherapy following radical prostatectomy! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 💡 Standardization of urinary OARs in the postoperative setting is needed, as situations at risk of toxicity increase(prostate bed SBRT, dose escalation…)

🎥 Countdown to World Radiotherapy Awareness Day (7 Sept)! ESTRO President Prof Matthias Guckenberger shares why #radiotherapy is essential & lifesaving for millions. 👉 Watch his message & stay tuned for more voices this week. #WRAD #OneVoiceForRadiotherapy #WorldRTDay @Mat_Guc

📢Under Pressure: Safeguarding the Health of Europe’s Oncology Workforce – @EuropeanCancer A new @EuropeanCancer report highlights burnout, high workloads, and administrative challenges facing oncology professionals, calling for urgent policy action to support the workforce. @WimCeelen Explore the full report and action plan: oncodaily.com/blog/188161 #Cancer #ECO #OncoDaily #Oncology #MedEd #MedX #MedNews #Medicine

🌟#EuropeanCancerSummit Day 2! ESTRO is represented by Yolande Lievens & Ajay Aggarwal, chairs of the ESTRO VBRO project & ECO Health Systems Network. This morning, they lead the session "Quality: Backed by Evidence and Systems," stressing data's role in better health systems.

📢 It's here! We just unveiled an eye-opening report: 'UNDER PRESSURE'. It includes survey results from over 700 #Cancer professionals. 🪫 52% of them say they're exhausted by their workload 📋 55% think 'bureaucracy' is making their job overwhelming This data, alongside personal stories & policy recommendations will help us address the #CancerWorkforce crisis. Many thanks to the ECO Workforce Co-Chairs for their key contributions: Mirjam Crul, Wendy Oldenmenger & @WimCeelen Read the full publication!➡️ europeancancer.org/resources/publ…

🌍 ESTRO at ASTRO! ESTRO President Matthias Guckenberger @Mat_Guc is presenting highlights from the best science of #ESTRO24 at the "Cancer Breakthroughs" session at #ASTRO24. 🚀✨ #CancerResearch #GlobalCollaboration

Radiotherapy is a crucial component of cancer care, yet global access to services, as well as the promising field of theranostics, remains a major problem. A new @TheLancetOncol Commission assesses the current state of access to radiotherapy and theranostics at a global level: buff.ly/4eyoZUE

Thought-provoking talk from Uulke van der Heide #ESTROAsia24: with adaptive RT, we need to revisit many assumptions about PTV margins, including which components are random vs systematic. The impact of « small » uncertainties will become larger! #medphys #radonc
