Emma Hallam Interview – Treatment of late effects of cancer treatment with PBM

Emma Hallam Interview – Treatment of late effects of cancer treatment with PBM

This is a compelling interview with Emma Hallam, Macmillan Consultant Radiographer in Post Treatment & Late Effects at Nottingham Radiotherapy Centre.

The side effects and late effects (delayed effects) of cancer treatment can be many (see the list below), painful, unsightly, life long and life-limiting. Patients are frequently unprepared, and medical solutions have been inadequate.

LX2.3 LARGE LED CLUSTER AND LOLLIPOPEmma has been using PBM for the last three years (since 2021) at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, one of the UK’s largest and busiest teaching hospitals. She has collected data on over 150 patients comparing baseline data on pain, function and quality of life with results after twice-weekly treatments for 6 weeks or weekly treatments for 12 weeks. She is particularly convinced and excited by the benefits of THOR PBM on radiation-induced fibrosis (RIF), which is a major contribution to many of the late effects listed below.

Emma’s amazing work has led to the creation of 25 late-effects clinics across the UK, and she is only just getting started. Emma’s dedication to patients and results with PBM have been remarkable, and listening to her story is compelling.
