PSMA Lutetium has been in the background for metastatic prostate cancer for several years.

Joins us as we discuss this exciting treatment in metastatic prostate cancer with the excellent Dr Amy Eccles who works at Imperial Hospital London and also the London Clinic. Amy is a radiologist who delivers PSMA Lutetium at the London Clinic and shares her experience with us.

Attaching Lutetium-177 to PSMA to deliver a beta-emitting radiation payload to prostate cancer cells. Essentially targeted liquid radiotherapy.

This is novel therapy that is not yet funded in the NHS.

We discuss who a good patient may be and what potential side effects they could expect.

This field of Theranostics is expending rapidly and where does this sit with our current prostate cancer treatment landscape??

Join us as we discuss the impact of Pelvic Radiation Disease & the late effects of radiotherapy in the pelvis.

We re always trying to get he best result for our patients and to cure cancer but we need to take time to deal with the impact of radiotherapy side effects in our patients.

We are talking radiotherapy for pelvic cancers; bladder, prostate, gynaecological and rectal cancers.
Lisa is a consultant radiographer pioneering support for patients with late effects of radiotherapy. She leads her radiotherapy late effects service at Musgrove Park hospital in Taunton.

In this first of 2 parts we discuss;
🔎 What is Pelvic radiation Disease
🔎 When are effects 'Late Effects' from radiotherapy

🎙️We finish our overview of Biomarkers in metastatic Kidney Cancer with the superb Professor Laurence Albiges from the Gustave Roussy  Hospital in Paris 🇫🇷

Which biomarker will help us to decide which treatment to select in metastatic #KidneyCancer
- IOIO vs IOTKi
- when to start therapy
- monitoring on treatment 

An exciting space and none better than Laurence to walk us through it.

💊KIM 1
💊 CtDNA

Join us for a special Kidney Cancer treat!!!

A Must Listen episode!!

We discuss the role of biomarkers in advanced kidney cancer with the wonderful Professor Laurence Albiges from the Gustave Roussy Institute of Oncology in Paris.

No Kidney Cancer talk is complete without the question -" Where are we with biomarkers?"

This is part 1 of a 2 part walkthrough of the biomarker story so far in kidney cancer.

Laurence is unequalled in her clear delivery on this subject.

As lead for the CARE-1 study Laurence is examining the role of PDL1 as a biomarker in 1st line treatment of mRCC.

We also discuss the;

- IMDC criteria

- Clusters

- KIM-1

- PDL1

- Sarcomatoid features

Recorded before Christmas this is a gift that keeps on giving.

We hope you enjoy!!
