Why do we need to do
research on radiotherapy?
• Half of all men and a third of all women in Australia are
diagnosed with cancer
• 1 in 6 people will receive radiotherapy in their lifetime
• Australians have the highest cancer survival rate in the world
• Improvements in radiotherapy are contributing
Who is the Trans Tasman Radiation Oncology Group?
• Highest recruiting cancer clinical trials group in Australia
• 2013 NSW Premiers Award for Outstanding Cancer Research:
‘Innovation in Cancer Clinical Trials’
• Recruited our 13,000th patient in January 2014
• Celebrating 25 years in 2014
• 80 hospitals across Australia, New Zealand and internationally…
and counting!
• 93 trials run since 1989
Our focus
• Improving radiotherapy treatments for cancer patients using
cutting edge technology and techniques
• Improving quality of life for all cancer patients worldwide
• Giving rural and regional patients better access to
services, and opportunities to participate in a cancer research
trial

Significant achievements
• Head and neck cancer breakthrough (TROG trial 07.03)
Patients who received daily humidification during radiotherapy
treatment spent nearly 50% fewer days in hospital to manage side
effects.
• Prostate cancer breakthrough (TROG 96.01)
The chances of cancer returning in the prostate could be reduced by
approximately 60% using hormone therapy prior to radiotherapy
treatment.
Moving forward
• Improving outcomes for rural, remote and indigenous patients

• Community engagement; raising awareness of radiotherapy
and clinical trials
• Creating technology to assist patients
(eg. TROG ClinTrial Refer app)
