#Radiotherapy is not optional care, it is a cornerstone of cancer treatment responsible for a significant proportion of cures. Yet we are hearing of older machines, breakdowns disrupting treatment schedules, and patients facing delays simply due to ageing #infrastructure #cancer
Cancer experts have warned that over 80% of Ireland's radiotherapy machines need immediate or imminent replacement, with little or no active planning to do so

Superb presentation by #SLICR #Physics Fellow Ciaran Malone at our #AITRON lunch time catch up meeting
Ciaran covered:
➡️ AI in #radonc
➡️ How mountaineering may help #SGRT
➡️ Synthetic CT
Great to see how interdisciplinary research really delivers and the amazing output of Ciaran, Jill and @SamanthaJRyanJ
Thanks to everyone for joining. Next meeting Friday 16th January 2026

The 17-12 DP-IMRT Pancreas trial is recruiting patients following the successful completion of its first cohort.
This study is testing escalating doses of precision radiotherapy for patients with resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma @IRROGTrials
Recruiting at St Luke’s & SVUH.

Great to have Dr. Maeve Keys and Dr. Gerard McVey working on this important clinical trial for pancreatic cancer patients at SLRON and SVUH. Looking forward to the trial opening outside Dublin.

Congrats @LunaStockmann ! Love the idea of a cancer sniffing dog!
🔬 How do a sniffer dog and a detective inspire smarter, kinder cancer treatments?
@LunaStockmann's OvaLoad project is bringing us closer to new, better, smarter, kinder, and more effective ways to treat ovarian cancer.

Across Ireland, we have formed a new collaborative (All-Ireland Translational Radiation Oncology Network AITRON) to address this gap.
Through fantastic collaborators we hope provide practice changing research @K_Butterworth @JacinthaOS @aislingbarryro @OOneill4 @lauremarignol

As a low survival cancer, early detection is vital and knowing the signs and symptoms can make a huge difference.
Take a moment to watch the video below. If you experience any of these symptoms for 3 weeks or more speak to your G.P.
