Our upcoming conference will open the debate on the current state of NHS cancer treatment and provide an interactive platform to learn about changes in policy and innovation being implemented to help improve the current cancer treatment backlogs and ultimately NHS patient’s wellbeing.
The NHS Oncology Conference 2021: Innovating through backlogs
The Convenzis Oncology Virtual Conference series aims to provide a secure and focused environment for NHS cancer specialists to listen, learn and engage with peers and sector leaders from across the UK and further afield.
It’s no secret that the Covid-19 outbreak has had a catastrophic impact on cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Around 40,000 fewer people than normal started cancer treatment in the UK last year. The UK’s NHS currently has more than 4·6 million people on waiting lists for surgery and 300 000 people have been on hold for more than 12 months—a wait time that is 100-times higher than before the pandemic.
In more positive news, an injection that cuts the amount of time breast cancer patients spend in hospital from two and a half hours to as little as five minutes is being rolled out across the country by NHS England.
Breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy will be offered a new combined treatment called PHESGO, which is injected and takes as little as five minutes to prepare and administer, compared with two infusions that can take up to two and a half hours, more than 3,600 new patients each year will benefit from the treatment, as well as others who will switch from the treatment, they are on to the single injection, following an NHS deal with the manufacturer.

Rather than the usual post-operative course of radiotherapy given daily over several days, risk-adapted single-dose targeted intraoperative radiotherapy (TARGIT-IORT) given during lumpectomy for breast cancer, provides the patient with effective and safer, individualised form of radiotherapy. The large international randomised TARGIT-A trial has confirmed that TARGIT-IORT produces long-term cancer outcome as good as whole breast radiotherapy in all invasive ductal cancer subtypes, and reduces de
GenomOncology (Confirmed)
GenomOncology provides the healthcare community with data-driven insights to improve cancer care. GenomOncology strengthens your precision oncology program by transforming valuable, but unusable data, into actionable oncology treatment options and strategic insights to drive measurable results.
James Kingsland OBE Professor at University of Central Lancashire (Confirmed)
Cutting cancer waiting times using artificial intelligence
The AI technology, known as InnerEye, is a result of an eight-year collaboration between Cambridge-based Microsoft Research and Addenbrooke’s. Its aim is to save clinicians many hours of time laboriously marking up patient scans prior to radiotherapy.

Ed Smith, Clinical Director Proton Beam Therapy, The Christie, (Invited)
PBT: Risks, workload and benefits
Proton beam therapy (PBT) is an advanced form of radiotherapy that uses a high energy beam of protons rather than high energy X-rays to deliver radiotherapy. The Christie is the first NHS high-energy PBT centre in the UK as part of a £250m programme for a national PBT service. PBT directs the radiation treatment to precisely where it is needed with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. A second PBT centre is also currently being built at University College Lo
