Naman Julka-Anderson and Jo McNamara catch up with Dr. Veronica Dell’Acqua and Prof. Cihan Gani about incredible careers, the hypothesis testing programme (HTP) and MR-adaptive dose escalated radiotherapy in rectal cancer (MARS).
To use this podcast as CPD, look at these reflection points:
1) consider the benefits of the MR Linac consortium in progressing MR-adaptive radiotherapy.
2) reflect on the challenges people with rectal cancer face with current radiotherapy workflows.
3) consider the benefits of organ sparing within the rectal cancer pathway.
