Hi. I have been a small part of a team that treated people for cancer, but I can’t claim to have done it myself. That was a long time ago, so I now have no idea how many, sorry
Hi, Cancer treatment is often delivered by teams of people. As a radiotherapy physicist I was involved in the treatment of thousands of patients by ensuring the radiotherapy machines were operating correctly and ensuring the treatments had been planned correctly. I only however played a part in the treatment of patients. Currently I am involved in the use of light to treat certain skin cancers using light (photodynamic therapy) – still working in a team but the numbers of patients are smaller (hundred or so per year). It is very important that all teams work towards the safe and effective treatment of patients of which I have played a part.
