A legacy that changed rectal cancer

When Professor Heald first described TME, local recurrence rates after rectal cancer surgery in many centres were 20-30%, with devastating consequences for patients. By insisting on meticulous, sharp dissection in the “holy plane”, respecting embryology and removing the mesorectum as an intact package, he showed that local recurrence could be reduced to single digits, with corresponding gains in survival and function.

The Day Hospital is a place where treatment meets compassion. 

Here, patients receive systemic treatments, namely chemotherapy, in an environment designed to promote comfort, privacy and reassurance.

Individual treatment booths allow family members to be present, creating moments of support throughout the care journey.

Nurses and doctors remain close at every step, carefully monitoring treatments, responding to patients’ needs and ensuring personalised and attentive care.

As part of a Marie-Curie Doctoral Network (ELEVATE), we are offering a PhD student position. The proposed project sits at the interface of computational neuroscience and neuromorphic engineering, and is embedded within a strong network of European academic and industrial partners.
