HERMES: Randomised trial of 2-fraction or 5-fraction MRI-guided adaptive prostate radiotherapy To demonstrate safety and feasibility of 2-fraction stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for prostate cancer.This single centre, non-comparative, phaโ€ฆ

Excited to see the HERMES trial results in print www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Small trial but toxicity of 2 fractions looks promising at 24/27 Gy, no GI tox of G2 or higher out to 12 weeks @momentumstudy.bsky.social @icr.ac.uk

What could be better than 5 days in Verona in October, learning about prostate cancer? Comprehensive multidisciplinary programme aimed at oncologists, urologists, radiologists and anyone else involved in treated prostate cancer. Spread the word!

Exciting data presented in ESTRO 2025 plenary: 5 fraction adjuvant breast RT (26 Gy) at least as good (and possibly better?) than 15 fractions @icr.ac.uk #ESTRO2025

dx.doi.org/10.1056/NEJM...

RP vs. WW for clinically detected #prostatecancer reduces CSM 48% and *ACM* by 26%. NNT down to 6. Clear benefit to treatment of clinically detectable disease if (and only if) your pt has a very long life expectancy. #pcsm

Urethra contouring on computed tomography urethrogram versus magnetic resonance imaging for stereotactic body radiotherapy in prostate cancer - PubMed Accurate urethra contouring is critical in prostate SBRT. We compared urethra contouring on CT-urethrogram and T2-weighted MRI. The dice similarity coefficient, Jaccard index, Hausdorff distance and m...
