#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

Congrats @LunaStockmann ! Love the idea of a cancer sniffing dog!
20 May 2025
🔬 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

Today is #WorldPancreaticCancerDay
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.
