PODCAST | Trial Talk Podcast: The ARCHERY study – Can AI transform the way we plan radiotherapy treatment globally?

ARCHERY PI Dr Ajay Aggarwal discusses the study on the MRC CTU's Trial Talk Podcast.

"In this new series of the Trial Talk podcast, we will be exploring a broad range of studies that we carry on and the people behind the research. From what influences participant satisfaction with how trial results are shared to learning about the latest trials in multiple sclerosis and neonatal sepsis.

In this first episode, we talk to Dr Ajay Aggarwal about an exciting new study to evaluate if artificial intelligence (AI) can transform the way we plan radiotherapy in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). The study is called ARCHERY (short for “Artificial Intelligence based radiotherapy treatment planning for Cervical, Head and Neck and Prostate cancer”).

Ajay explains how this study could improve global access to radiotherapy by automatising parts of radiotherapy treatment planning using AI. He also highlights the importance of evaluating the implementation and cost-effectiveness of this AI approach, as well as its plan to build capacity in LMIC."
