Great to see positive radiotherapy news stories in the media. Congratulations to @Dr_AJC and @NICCBeamTeam colleagues. Slight inaccuracy in the headline ...kidney SABR available in Dublin, Cork and (soon) Galway. Great to have a non-invasive option for suitable patients #SABR – at Cork, Ireland
"An exciting, innovative treatment" - specialist radiotherapy has been used on a renal cancer patient for the first time on the island of Ireland. bbc.in/3OGtrq8

👋Let's talk about HCC and TACE vs SBRT! LRT have 2 keys jobs, downstage prior to transplantation, Overall, to date several RCTs(usually without MVI) have been done which all provide evidence for double LC with SBRT , although no OS benefit has been found to date.
