Charlotte Coles (Dept of Oncology, Breast Cancer Programme and lead for CRUK RadNet Cambridge) has co-authored a new European Consensus Statement to improve breast cancer radiotherapy treatment.
The Consensus from ESTRO-ACROP: European Society of Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology Advisory Committee in Radiation Oncology Practice, published by Lancet Oncology, states that 3-week breast radiotherapy can be offered to any patient for any indication and 1-week breast radiotherapy can be offered for patients who do not need lymph node radiotherapy.
Charlotte said: “In the clinical world Consensus statements can drive change – so this really is the next step to changing standard of care in Europe and the rest of the world.”
