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 67: In the Clinic - Advances in Rectal Cancer (Part 1) with Professor Richard Adams
In this episode we venture in to a new tumour site: Colorectal Cancer.
We are joined by internationally renowned oncologist Professor Richard Adams from Velindre Cancer Centre.
In Part 1 we dive in to treatment of localised rectal cancer, with a comprehensive overview of the role of radiotherapy, contact brachytherapy and total neodjuvant therapy. We also explore the evolving evidence of non-operative management of rectal cancer.
We look into the OPERA (EU), OPRA (US) and RAPIDO trials and where that’s taking Rectal Cancer.
