ABSTRACT Introduction Recent RANZCR studies have demonstrated gender disparity in research publication output of both radiation oncology (RO) trainees and specialists, favouring men. The purpose this project was to examine success rates by grant prize (G&P) submissions the RO Research Committee (RORC) determine if anything needs be done about appraisal process potentially address that disparity. Methods College records between 2011 2024 (where applicable) were searched for one trainee,...
We previously demonstrated that 48% of patients with pain at sites irradiated bone metastases benefit from reirradiation. It is unknown whether alleviating also improves patient perception quality life (QOL).We used the database a randomized trial comparing radiation treatment dose fractionation schedules to evaluate response, determined using International Consensus Endpoint (ICE) and Brief Pain Inventory score (BPI-PS), associated benefit, as measured European Organisation for Resesarch...
Abstract Introduction The aim of this study was to describe the research productivity among RANZCR Radiation Oncology (RO) trainees. Methods Publicly available data on RO fellows, who were awarded fellowship between July 2014 and June 2023, extracted from Annual Reports. Fellows had qualified overseas did not undertake full training excluded. A PubMed search performed for publications by each fellow in 5 years prior, 6 months, after estimated completion training. Research defined as number...
Abstract Background: To examine prognostic factors, treatment outcomes and design future studies for Osteolymphoma (OL) – also known as primary bone lymphoma. Methods: Between 1979 1993, 70 patients with OL were treated in nine Australian centres. The effect of patient‐, tumour‐, treatment‐related factors on local control, distant disease‐free survival overall assessed by multivariate analysis. Results: Most (94%) received radiotherapy (RT) (median dose 40 Gy) 56% chemotherapy. Multifocal...
There is a perception that Indigenous patients are less likely to attend radiotherapy treatment. This study sought determine if difference in treatment compliance rates exists between and non-Indigenous patients. Secondly, we aimed ascertain which patient, disease factors affect
A recent survey found that Rapid Access Palliative Radiation Therapy (RAPRT) clinics have not been widely embraced in Australia and New Zealand for many reasons. The purpose of this narrative is to describe the transition a Brisbane, Queensland, RAPRT clinic an Advanced Practice Therapist (APRT) model further improve access delivery palliative radiation therapy at centre.The weekly commenced 2005, run by one Oncologist (RO). role attending senior (RT) was mainly facilitate rapid passage...
Abstract Introduction The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists Faculty Radiation Oncology (FRO) requires trainees to complete a research project prior the exit (phase II) examinations. We report results survey current FRO Fellows graduating since 2013, regarding their experience overall requirement, supervision, barriers completion subsequent publication. Methods A 32‐question online was sent via email 285 members in July 2019. Responses were anonymous. Results response...
Background: Skin cancer is the most common malignancy that managed in general practice, and non-melanoma skin (NMSC) comprises vast majority of presentations. Radiation therapy (RT) plays an important part management NMSC may be used as definitive treatment for low-risk cancers, adjuvant high-risk disease or alone inoperable cases. Objective: The aims this article are to discuss: 1) types RT; 2) role RT, including its advantages disadvantages; 3) side effects (toxicity) 4) outcomes from 5)...
Abstract Introduction The Faculty of Radiation Oncology ( FRO ) the Royal Australian and New Zealand College Radiologists RANZCR currently allows several pathways for trainees to satisfy its mandatory original research requirement. In practice, majority need have a manuscript ‘accepted peer review’ by one five specified radiation oncology RO journals before being eligible sit final examination. purpose this work was determine corresponding trainee requirements other Australasian medical...
According to international best practice guidelines, staging abdominal and pelvic computed tomography (CTAP) whole body bone scan (WBBS) are not recommended for asymptomatic low intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Despite this, many patients undergo these investigations. Our aim was determine the rate cost of scans being performed this group patients.We utilised a database cancer treated by radiation oncologist specialising in at Royal Adelaide Hospital between January 2008 December 2012....
Fostering a research culture is key goal of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College Radiologists, yet there has never been an organization-wide enquiry into extent to which this being realized. The purpose work was address that deficit for Radiation Oncology (RO) Faculty serve as baseline future comparison. hypothesis such closer fact than fantasy.With approval, three de-identified Excel spreadsheets detailing 25 research-related sub-categories Faculty's Continuing Professional...
Cardiac myxoma is a rare, benign tumour that commonly originates in the left atrium and may lead to embolic events. Parenchymal brain metastases represent rare neurological manifestation. While surgical intervention used, there limited information on long-term outcomes after radiotherapy treatment. This report describes case of successful treatment haemorrhagic with offers literature review results
The techniques employed in palliative radiation therapy are highly variable, ranging from basic (2D/3D-conformal) to more advanced (beam modulation and stereotactic techniques), their relative use has not previously been formally investigated at a national level. purpose of this work was assess the current utilisation technologies Australia New Zealand (ANZ).
The purpose of this work was to determine the current publication output Royal Australian and New Zealand College Radiologists radiation oncologists (ROs) serve as a baseline contributing future assessment effectiveness College's Research Action Plan 2024-26.
