Clinical Oral Examinations: Assessment of Competency in Radiation Therapy
(2009)Matching assessment strategies to learning outcomes in radiation therapy education is of the utmost importance. Assessing clinical competence requires that `competence? be clearly defined prior to the start of any clinical ... -
Clinical potential of boron neutron capture therapy for locally recurrent inoperable previously irradiated head and neck cancer.
(2015)This review compares the safety and efficacy of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) in the treatment of previously irradiated, inoperable locoregional recurrent HNC patients and compares BNCT against the standard treatment ... -
Current and Future Trends in the Management of Gastrointestinal Cancers
(2013)The Study Day was aimed at frontline radiotherapy staff who interact with gastrointestinal patients on a daily basis. The aim was to inform participants of the current and future practice in diagnosis, management and ... -

(2018)This guideline details the European Higher Education Area Levels 7 and 8 Postgraduate benchmarking document for Radiation TherapisTs (RTTs). The purpose of this benchmarking document is to assist higher education institutes ... -
Evaluation of an eLearning teaching innovation to assist clinical radiation therapy educators in the provision of student feedback
(2021)Background: Clinical placement is an integral part of the Radiation Therapy undergraduate programme. Feedback and formative assessment during clinical placement are regarded as key to developing clinical skills and ... -
Hypoxic Tumor Kinase Signaling Mediated by STAT5A in Development of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
(2013)In this study, we hypothesized that androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) in prostate cancer, although initially efficient, induces changes in the tumor kinome, which subsequently promote development of castration-resistant ... -

Introduction to the ESTRO European Qualifications Framework (EQF) 7 and 8: Benchmarking Radiation Therapist (RTT) advanced education
(2018)Innovations in radiotherapy practice continue to develop and expand. With this comes a requirement for suitably educated Radiation TherapisTs (RTTs) to expand their scope of practice and work at advanced levels within ... -
Multiplex profiling identifies clinically relevant signalling proteins in an isogenic prostate cancer model of radioresistance
(2019)The exact biological mechanism governing the radioresistant phenotype of prostate tumours at a high risk of recurrence despite the delivery of advanced radiotherapy protocols remains unclear. This study analysed the protein ... -
Radiation Therapists role in support patients in Radiation Oncology Departments
(2009-03-11)Despite advances in medical technology, cancer is still one of the leading causes of death globally, leaving many patients to deal with the emotional and psychological aspects associated with cancer and its treatment ... -
Radiotherapy: Seizing the opportunity in cancer care
(ESTRO, 2019)The incidence of cancer is increasing, resulting in a rising demand for high‑quality cancer care. In 2018, there were close to 4.23 million new cases of cancer in Europe, and this number is predicted to rise by almost ... -
