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/

Good catch-up and moderating ISRSy #ISRSUSA2024 GU prostate SABR session with Rohann Correa, co-fellows Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre Radiation Oncology Dr. Andrew Loblaw



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