Transformational Breast Cancer Treatment Research | Professor Jayant Vaidya #MadeAtUCL

Research at UCL has transformed the treatment of breast cancer, the most common cancer in women, using innovative one-off targeted intraoperative radiation therapy (TARGIT IORT). This new treatment avoids the burden of a three- to six-week course of postoperative radiotherapy.

This new treatment can save a typical patient 750 miles of travel and an estimated £9,000,000 per year for the NHS.

Professor Jayant Vaidya is a breast cancer expert who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the breast. He is a Consultant Surgeon at the Whittington, Royal Free and University College London Hospitals.
