#Radiotherapy #Diary Day 31 - pleasant session; no motion until I emptied my mind (easily done when you have as little brain left as I do)
Diarising 33 days’ radiotherapy, over 7 weeks, to treat my brain #cancer.

@healthcare-europe.bsky.socialAfter treatment for #SCLC #lungcancer, patients often undergo prophylactic #radiotherapy to prevent #metastases in the brain. Now, a new study presented by Chad Rusthoven, MD, from 🇺🇸 @cumedicalschool.bsky.social at @iaslc.bsky.social's #WCLC26, shows that #MRI surveillance alone is enough.
@thecancersurvivorsclub.comFewer hospital visits for prostate cancer patients? A study found that 25 radiotherapy sessions after surgery achieved similar five-year cancer control to 37 sessions.
@thecancersurvivorsclub.comMaking cancer treatment less frightening for children. Following the first paediatric treatments using upright proton therapy, Leo Cancer Care is developing interactive experiences to help young patients!
@thecancersurvivorsclub.comRadiotherapy could become faster and more convenient. Siemens Healthineers has unveiled Accela, a new system designed to deliver precise stereotactic treatments in as little as 60 seconds.

@rdepietro.bsky.socialNow at #EANO2026 on #radiotherapy in glioblastoma 🧠:
➡️ #FET-PET-informed target volumes were larger than MRI-only volumes
➡️ MRI-based plans showed lower coverage
📄Take-home: MRI-only planning may under-cover disease, but whether this translates into better tumour control still needs to be shown
@rdepietro.bsky.socialIn the #UNITED/MR-guided adaptive #Radiotherapy for high-grade glioma:
➡️ 5-mm adaptive CTV margins, with target volumes 40-71% smaller than conventional volumes
➡️ Marginal failure low (4%)
➡️ Higher lymphocyte counts at the end of RT
➡️ Treatment-induced severe lymphopenia: 6.8% vs 14.9%
@rdepietro.bsky.socialProf. Susan Short made the Pro case for #radiotherapy + chemotherapy in every patient with grade 3 IDH-mutant #glioma.
A great debate around which treatments we can, and should, deliver to this population #EANO2026
@rdepietro.bsky.social#EANO2026 continues in #Rome on another beautiful day ☀️
This morning, don’t miss:
➡️selected abstracts sessions 📄
➡️pro/contra debate on chemo-RT for IDH-mutant grade 3 gliomas, from Susan Short and Martin van den Bent 🧠
Looking forward to another full day of science and discussion!

@meduniwien.ac.atDo patients benefit from #radiotherapy following the complete surgical removal of atypical meningiomas?
A study involving #MedUniVienna published new findings showing that the treatment significantly reduces the risk of recurrence in these meningiomas. ⬇️
@rdepietro.bsky.socialROAM in Rome at #EANO2026 !
Results from the EORTC 1308/ROAM trial: in resected WHO grade 2 #meningioma, adjuvant #radiotherapy improved 5-year DFS compared with observation (79.9% vs 62.3%; HR 0.51).
Important evidence for a long-debated question!
