@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.

Excellent recommendation also on the use of other locoregional therapies after 1-2 failed TACE. So important to have in practice! Curious as to other centres practices - after how many TACE do you look beyond further TACE?

Huge kudos to #EASL for including RT 🤩
RT is underrated underutilized and so greatly effective for patients with #HCC

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

👋Let'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.

Looking forward to initiating Prof.Armstrong’s SOURCE trial for NSCLC at site today with Laura & Aoife from @cancertrials_ie @alinamihai2000 is Principal Investigator at site
English
@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?
English
An Irish group shares what happened to their patients who were treated with SBRT for T3 and T4 NSCLC measuring up to 9 cm. I wonder if @gerryhanna knows any of these folks. 🇮🇪 #radonc #lcsm sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
