Should ovarian tissue be harvested and stored before radiation to the pelvis in an adult woman? Can such a uterus successfully carry a pregnancy to term, even if I managed to spare only part of the uterus? Questions that arose in my mind in 2016. fertstertreports.org/action/…

There's hope surgeons will soon be able to find and remove cancers with greater accuracy. A molecule is being tested in Melbourne which makes tumours glow green under infrared light. @msanto92 #9News

Outcomes following high dose rate #brachytherapy boost for high/intermediate risk #ProstateCancer. Our report shows high efficacy (85% bPFS at 5 years in high risk patients) with low toxicity (HDR better than seeds?). In press @RadiotherapyOn1 thegreenjournal.com/article/…
