Dr. Robert Olson's clinical trial at BC Cancer-Prince George shows high-dose precision-focused radiotherapy effective at targeting tumours with reduced toxic side effects for patients
Prince George radiation oncologist Robert Olson has built a career as a medical doctor finding ways for people to beat cancer and his latest work leading a provincial study using high-dose radiation treatments to shrink tumours has revealed encouraging results.
The 381 patients at six B.C. cancer centres selected for the study from June 2016 – Nov. 2020 had cancer which had spread from one location, such as the prostate gland or lung, to other sites. “An earlier, smaller phase II trial in 2019, called SABR-COMET, showed encouraging results with people living two times longer than those who did not receive the treatment,” said Olson. “However, there was three times the rate of side effects in those who received SABR, including a 30 per cent rate of mild side effects; approximately 15 per cent rate of serious side effects, for example, requiring hospitalizations; and a five per cent death rate from side effects.
