Congratulations to the study team.
The RACE-GB trial results are here! FIRST randomized controlled trial investigating radiotherapy (RT) in gallbladder cancer.
In a cohort of 135 patients the addition of RT after 4 cycles of chemotherapy (compared to observation) extended overall survival (OS) from 4 months to 10 months.@RadOnc
