As an #NHS cancer consultant , I have a public duty to raise the alarm that the Government is failing cancer patients during the #COVID19 crisis. A key cancer treatment that will be crucial to tackling the upcoming surge in cancer cases is still being rationed by NHS England 1/
Stereotactic radiotherapy (#SABR or SBRT) is a method of radiation delivery that can accurately deliver very high doses of radiation to localised cancers. It’s used to treat a wide variety of cancers including lung, prostate, kidney, and liver cancers. 2/

The cancer centre in Middlesbrough, is a non-academic #NHS institution serving a regional population of 1.1m. It’s one of the most socially deprived areas in the UK. We started lung SABR in 2009 and presented our long term outcomes at @SABRconsortium 2019 meeting #lcsm #radonc
