Simply Oncology
Welcome to Simply Oncology.
Cancer is daunting for both patients and for clinical teams.
Dr John McGrane and Dr Michael Rowe are oncologists who want to break down the complex parts of cancer care into clear and simple sessions.
We will dive deep into the world of cancer research, patient stories and the latest cancer breakthroughs.
Simply Oncology will have patient focused episodes along with episodes that allow anyone with an interest in oncology to stay up to date.
We hope you join us as we unpick all parts of cancer.

Episode 36: In the Clinic - Discussing anal cancer with Dr Rebecca Muirhead
Join us in this week as we discuss anal cancer with Dr Rebecca Muirhead.
Based at Oxford University Hospital, Dr Muirhead has played a key role in the adoption of IMRT in anal cancer. She is part of the ACT and PLATO trial group and shares her insights from these trials with us.
We discuss the principles of escalation and de-escalation in the PLATO trial to match the risk of the disease.
Rebecca also very elegantly discusses the pros and cons of re-irradiation in anal cancer to try to regain control of anal caner symptoms in patients where cancer returns.
Enjoy!
