AI could help cut waiting times for cancer by automating mark-up of patient scans prior to radiotherapy.
Doctors at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge aim to drastically cut cancer waiting times by using artificial intelligence (AI) to automate lengthy radiotherapy preparations. Planning radiotherapy treatment can be a lengthy process. It starts with a 3D CT (Computed Tomography) imaging scan of the part

Time from finishing cycles until scans?
Hi. I was just wondering what the typical sort of time is between finishing chemo cycles and radiotherapy before having scans etc to see how much they’ve worked? My dad is currently in that ‘waiting’ part and I’m trying not to nag him about chasing up appts but he’s always so vague when he’s had his

Lymph’s nodes relapse
Good morning I am writing on behalf of a friend who doesn’t speak English to get some advice. My friend has been diagnosed 4 years ago with agressive localisée prostate cancer . He first went through radical prostatectomy and since his nadir psa was 0,23 and pathological report was not good he got adjuvant

Salvage Cryoablation
So..my UroOnc wants to pursue cryoablation after my failed radiotherapy (EBRT/LDR Brachytherapy ). I don't know yet if I can have focal only cryo or have to have whole prostate ablation. I know the ED outcome is bad, but has anyone else had this treatment and how are you doing afterward? Any other

Keytruda and Guillain Barre Syndrome
After various false starts, it has been confirmed that the Immunotherapy treatment with Keytruda has been the cause of my GBS event in January. I'm off immunotherapy forever now. Just learned today that my lung tumor has grown and is getting close to my airway. Looking at possible radiation treatment

When to start salvage radiation therapy
When to start salvage radiation therapy Just a quick question. I have found different psa values recommended to start salvage radiation therapy.Apparently to my understanding the earlier the better. I found different numbers ranging from 0,03 to 0.2 with a huge difference in relapse free survival

PICC line tips?
Hi lovely people! I’m 5 weeks post mastectomy and sentinel node removal for DCIS and 2 invasive ductal cancer tumours; both hormone receptor positive, one HER2 positive and the other HER2 negative. I start chemo at the beginning of May. The surgeon said no radiotherapy but my oncologist has since said

Swallowing problems
Hi everyone, My dad has been on intense chemotherapy and radiotherapy for the past 3 weeks. His first week was with chemo and radio and the past 2 weeks has been radio alone. Next week is his final week of chemo and radio and hopefully will receive positive results soon. In the meantime, my dads developed

NCCN guidelines for unfavorable intermediate risk
I thought I did my homework, but now I realize according to the NCCN guidelines, I could've chosen a different path. I have Gleason 7 (4+3) unfavorable intermediate risk PCa and I chose the HDR Brachytherapy (monotherapy) path. It looks like EBRT & HDR Brachytherapy is the SOC for unfavorable intermediate

Lupus and cancer
Oncologist was brilliant had done a lot of research into cancer with APS and Lupus. Opted for mastectomy to try and avoid having to have Chemo or Radiotherapy. He agreed it was better to avoid them if at all possible. Hopefully nothing shows up in Lymph nodes!

Help for my lovely mum
Hi everyone. I’m looking for some help on behalf of my lovely mum (Janey1234 on this forum). Last year she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, which we found out a few weeks ago has spread beyond her pelvic region, so she is due to start chemotherapy tomorrow.
