Simply Oncology
Welcome to Simply Oncology.
Cancer is daunting for both patients and for clinical teams.
Dr John McGrane and Dr Michael Rowe are oncologists who want to break down the complex parts of cancer care into clear and simple sessions.
We will dive deep into the world of cancer research, patient stories and the latest cancer breakthroughs.
Simply Oncology will have patient focused episodes along with episodes that allow anyone with an interest in oncology to stay up to date.
We hope you join us as we unpick all parts of cancer.

Episode 96: Artificial Intelligence in Radiotherapy - the ARCHERY trial with Professor Ajay Aggarwal
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Join us as we tackle the topic of Artificial intelligence in Radiotherapy.
This week we speak to the excellent Professor Ajay Aggarwal about the use of AI in radiotherapy planning.
We discuss the international ARCHERY trial using an AI radiotherapy planning tool to streamline radiotherapy planning in prostate, head & neck and cervical cancers.
This PRA artificial planning tool developed at the MD Anderson hospital could unlock huge radiotherapy delivery potential in Low & middle income countries and beyond!
This trial of 990 patients is being conducted in Jordan, South Africa, India and Malaysia.
All radiotherapy trials are hard to get funded. This remains an area of need for oncology trial funding.
Massive respect and congratulations to Ajay and the international team for getting unified treatment protocols and to actually prospectively test and AI solution in radiotherapy.
We hope you enjoy
