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.

Dr Ben from Health Versus Wealth interviews THOR CEO James Carroll

This is an interview featuring me by Dr. Ben Sinclair, a British physician /  general practitioner (GP) Sinclair. His podcast is called Health Versus Wealth. Primarily, this podcast is about my health choices and routines. He describes me as a “highly driven entrepreneur, 61 years old (now 62), of  THOR Laser company (correction: THOR Photomedicine Ltd and THOR Photomedicine Inc), of which he is is Founder CEO, which specialises in design and manufacture of Photobiomodulation (PBM) devices. THOR £10 million a year in sales, has 5,000 customers in 70 countries, and is marking THOR’s 30th anniversary.” Dr Ben says I am “a businessman who prioritises his wealth, in that he works 364 days a year! (actually, my motivation is establishing PBM as a first-line medical treatment in every department of every hospital in the whole world), wealth might be an outcome, but it is not the goal.) How does this impact his work-life balance? “The only day I take off is Christmas Day,” he says. Despite this, he says he’s in fine health, fit and eats a nutritious diet.

THOR’s celebrity clients include Mo Farah (Mo only used NovoTHOR whilst training with the Nike, Oregon project), Novak Djokovic, Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg, and his biggest-name customer, film star Tom Cruise. Cruise famously broke his ankle during filming in London on ‘Mission Impossible: Fallout’ in 2017 while leaping from one building to another. Cruise used James’s laser to recover, and now he has lasers in his homes and is always one on location. James LED a workshop in Florida, and Cruise walked in wearing his trademark aviator sunglasses. “Tom was a delight,” says James. As for his business ambitions to grow the company, James adds: “My real goal is to get this technology into every corner of every department of every hospital in the whole world.”

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust: Mucositis and Photobiomodulation video

Oral mucositis is a term used to describe having a sore mouth, often with multiple painful ulcers. It is a side effect of cancer treatment that affects up to eight in every ten children who have chemotherapy.

This is a film by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust about mucositis and a light treatment (called Photobiomodulation) that can be used to prevent and treat this. It has been designed and filmed with children and young people who have had mucositis, and those who have had the light treatment.

This video was made as part of a research project, that aimed to find out how acceptable the light treatment was to children as part of their cancer treatment. The children and young people involved in this video hope that it will help to tell other children and their families what mucositis can be like, and what to expect with the light treatment.
