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.
