Massive team effort to start The Alfred Prostate Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR) program - first public centre in Victoria to offer prostate SABR as standard of care treatment options on CT-Linac, cutting down treatment from 20 to 5 visits for prostate cancer!

Final anlyses of the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre GLIO study that proved tumour migration during fractionated rads for high grade glioma and now reporting prognostic relevance. Congrats to our prior fellow Dr. Wee Ong from 🇦🇺 and supervisor Dr. Myrehaug. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38561051/

Team Aussie 🇦🇺 at #ReCOG. Definitely lots of collective work/ opportunities (eg reirradiation registry) to improve ReRT Down Under! Nick Hardcastle @RANZCRCollege

Thomas Kennedy leads 10y prostate #SBRT outcomes from 3 different prospective studies now epub at #RedJ IJROBP - The Red Journal doi.org/10.1016/j.ijro… Great biochemical control to 15 years and only 1% chance of mets! Note 10% of UIR pts received ADT and none had whole pelvic RT (-> #PR24)

After 4 years of the GÖTEBORG-2 trial, MRI-targeted biopsy led to less detection of clinically insignificant prostate cancer than systematic biopsy without compromising the detection of cancer that may affect survival. Read the full trial results: nej.md/4ewOjKT

In patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, extended lymphadenectomy did not improve disease-free or overall survival as compared with the standard procedure and was associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Full SWOG S1011 trial results: nej.md/4dBI8UN
