Dr. @leigh_conroy at #ESTRO2026 presenting on clinical implementation of AI for treatment planning. One takeaway - acceptability seems to drop in prospective studies compared to retrospective studies across the board!

Presenting @ruiyan_ni's poster on using LLM and multi-modal architecture to augment radiotherapy target volume. Adding clinical findings, such as endoscopy notes, appears to improve volumetric accuracy of target volumes for Head & Neck cancers.

@RebeccaKSWong @RevChelvarajah Nattinee Wattakiyanon
In this article we illustrated how contemporary patient-centered palliative/oligomet RT program can streamline care delivery.
@RadMedPM
@pmcancercentre
You'll recognize a few names on this author list!
@AgrawalAmiya @CJTsaiMDPhD & team show us that palliative RT is undergoing a major evolution ⚡️—from symptom relief ➡️ a multidisciplinary, precision-driven discipline with a dedicated workflow!
What’s changing?
🧠 Team-based care is central: #radonc physicists advanced practice RTTs NPs supportive care = more personalized, efficient & safer treatment decisions
⏱️ Rapid-access clinics
✔️ Referrals seen within ~24 hrs
✔️ “One-stop” visits: consult simulation same day
✔️ Fast-track pathways deliver RT within hours for pain crises
🚀 Workflow innovation
✔️ Simulation-free RT using recent diagnostic CTs
✔️ Single-fraction treatments (8–20 Gy)
✔️ Fewer hospital visits faster symptom relief
🎯 Better technology = better care
✔️ IMRT/VMAT SBRT improve conformality
✔️ Reduce toxicity to normal tissues
✔️ Enable safer re-irradiation & hypofractionation
👩⚕️ Advanced providers expand capacity
✔️ pAPRTs: contouring, planning, workflow leadership
✔️ NPs: toxicity management, follow-up, continuity
✔️ Earlier detection of complications improved experience
🔬 Not just care—innovation hub
✔️ Trials reducing skeletal events with prophylactic RT
✔️ Survival gains (e.g., proton CSI in leptomeningeal disease)
🚨Bottom line:
Palliative RT is no longer just supportive care—it’s fast, adaptive, multidisciplinary, and increasingly impactful on outcomes and quality of life 💡

It is great to see our very own @RadMedPM #RadiationTherapy Professional Practice manager @WasabiWinnie taking part in the #ESTRO26 #RTT debate and contributing a 🇨🇦 perspective to the discussion! @CAMRT_ACTRM @pmcancercentre @DKirschMDPhD @UofTDRO @ldawsonmd
🗣️ Debate at #ESTRO26:
Does online adaptive radiotherapy require a major overhaul of RTT education?
📅 May 16 | 15:15–16:30
📍 A12 | RTT Track
Join us for an engaging discussion at #ESTRO26 for this debate!
Full rethink or smart adaptation? 👇
