Proud to support World Radiotherapy Awareness Day!

Radiotherapy saves lives. Here’s to making safe, precise, and accessible cancer care available to more Filipinos.

Kapag may cancer ang mga senior nating mahal sa buhay, hindi lang pagpapahaba ng buhay ang importante.

Importante rin ang “QOL o Quality of Life”- kung nakakakilos pa sila nang maayos, nagagawa ang mga gusto nilang gawin, nakakasama ang pamilya, at nae-enjoy pa rin ang araw-araw na gawaing bahay.

Kaya sa pagpili ng cancer treatment para kina Lolo, Lola, Nanay o Tatay, hindi palaging “mas maraming treatment, mas maganda.” Dapat pinag-uusapan din kung ano ang pinaka-angkop sa kanila at kung ano ang mahalaga para sa kanila.

Because cancer treatment is not just about living longer, but also living with good QOL. 🌷

💬 For many older adults with cancer, maintaining independence, daily activities and quality of life can be just as important as extending survival.

A new EORTC perspective from the EORTC Older Adult Council and the EORTC Quality of Life Group, published in the European Journal of Cancer, highlights why cancer research should not only measure survival and side effects, but also better understand what matters most to patients when considering treatment options.

Congratulations and thanks to lead author Pierluigi Bonomo and all co-authors on this important contribution to advancing patient-centred cancer research.

This made my day today! 🥹

One of the things I appreciate about CyberKnife SBRT is being able to deliver a high ablative dose precisely while minimizing radiation to nearby vital organs, for example the heart and liver.

For early-stage lung cancer, achieving a BED₁₀ ≥100 Gy has been associated with excellent local control. Always encouraging to see a good response 6 mos on follow-up imaging—from 2.3 cm to 1.6 cm after SBRT. To more surveillance imaging!
