Partially Ablative Body Radiotherapy (PABR): A novel approach for pall... sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Kudos to the PABR team and @PeterMacRadOnc fellow @kelvinkenyu to get this to @RadiotherapyOn1 .Effective palliation for these unfortunate patients. Now onto the prospective trial!
Should ovarian tissue be harvested and stored before radiation to the pelvis in an adult woman? Can such a uterus successfully carry a pregnancy to term, even if I managed to spare only part of the uterus? Questions that arose in my mind in 2016.

9 month scan of a 80 year old with synovial sarcoma overlayed on planning CT - shows a 78% reduction! Toxicity only fatigue! Purple is post PABR volume
Thanks to @anzsarcoma,@PeterMacCC Foundation and Victorian Cancer Agency for ongoing support for the next stage of this !

#ABG2024 Hobart @angelo_tzovaras presenting proof of concept on the potential of 3D ultrasound to guide gynae brachytherapy. Perhaps IGABT can be more accessible in a regions with low resources. @PeterMacRadOnc @GlobalRadOnc @pixiepk1

- ⬇️ Skeletal-related events 1.6% vs 22% (p<0.001)
- ⬆️OS - HR [0.49] with RT, p=0.018

The first truly collaborative effort in #ProstateCancer RT from India 🇮🇳.
✅ 19 centers, n=462
✅ All GG5, 80 %T3/4, 30% N+
✅ All EBRT+ADT, no brachy.
Med FU 56 m
💥 5-yr MFS, OS = 77.4%, 90.5% (not bad! 😊)
💥 On MVA Primary Gl 5 (5+5 & 5+4) worse than primary Gl 4 (4+5).
How true!!! Brachytherapy where real and artificial intelligence is in your hands!
So lovely to see you in Marvellous Melbourne and @PeterMacCC @Sushilberiwal - as you say, adaptive RT has been a thing in brachy forever @AusBrachy @PeterMacRadOnc @saratchanderRO @pixiepk1 @DavidCh88224451 @VarianMedSys 🙏

Outcomes following high dose rate #brachytherapy boost for high/intermediate risk #ProstateCancer.
Our report shows high efficacy (85% bPFS at 5 years in high risk patients) with low toxicity (HDR better than seeds?).
