Brain metastases (BMs) are common and contribute significantly to poor patient prognosis. Local radiotherapy like stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) are increasingly used for BM treatment. Accurate determination of the gross tumour target volume (GTV) is crucial for their effectiveness, usually done through contrast-enhanced...Read more

The date is set (we think!) - on October 31st the United Kingdom is to leave the European Union (EU). Since the 2016 referendum on membership of the EU bloc, when 51.9% of British voters opted for an exit from the European Union, the Brexit negotiations have been erratic and dramatic with no resolution about the form the exit will take. Trade deals,...Read more
