Established in 2009, Northern Centre for Cancer Care (NCCC) is the largest center of its kind in the north of England. It provides a regional service for specialized radiotherapy treatments including TBI, TSEI, SRS and pediatrics. The radiation therapy department receives over 4,500 new patient referrals per year. A wide range of treatment techniques is offered, including IMRT, IGRT, total body irradiation, brachytherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, chemoradiation, lung and spine SABR and CHART treatment for lung cancer. NCCC has made substantial investments in state-of-the-art equipment to expand and improve its radiation therapy service. The center is equipped with the latest radiation therapy technology, including new Varian TrueBeam linacs, TomoTherapy, superficial radiation therapy and HDR brachytherapy. RayStation was selected as the optimal treatment planning system and has been used clinically at NCCC since 2016.

On May 14, 2018, First Lady Melania Trump underwent an embolization procedure for what was called a benign kidney condition in a White House press release. The First Lady’s condition had been previously undisclosed, and the press release offered no further detail, leading to much speculation about the nature of the procedure and why it was needed. Major American news outlets from CBS to NBC to Fox News, and even entertainment outlets like People magazine, ran variations of the headline “What is an embolization?”

News | PET Imaging
In the battle against metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer, studies have demonstrated a high response rate to radionuclide therapy targeting prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) with the radionuclide lutetium-177 (177Lu). At the 2018 Annual Meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), researchers reported on a phase II prospective trial. Using gallium-68 positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, men who had exhausted conventional therapies were screened. Those with high PSMA-expression proceeded to 177Lu-PSMA617 (LuPSMA) therapy and experienced high response rates, which is clearly demonstrated in the PSMA PET imaging figure selected as the 2018 SNMMI Image of the Year.

A team of biologists has joined up with civil engineers to create what is believed to be the first 3-D computer model to show precisely how the tiny tubes that funnel milk through the breasts of mammals form. Understanding how such ducts form, the team says, may lend insight into how diseases such as metastatic breast cancers spread throughout the body. A report on the model was published April 9 in Developmental Cell.
