Journal Article
Lee, S. H., Cox, K. M., Grant, R., Kennedy, C., & Kilbride, L. (2012). Patient positioning (mobilisation) and bracing for pain relief and spinal stability in metastatic spinal cord compression in adults. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD007609.pub2

Background Many patients with metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC) have spinal instability but are determined, by their clinician, to be unsuitable for surgical internal fixation due to their advanced disease. Mobilisation may be hazardous in... Read More about Patient positioning (mobilisation) and bracing for pain relief and spinal stability in metastatic spinal cord compression in adults.

The frequency and cause of anxiety and depression amongst patients with malignant brain tumours between surgery and radiotherapy. (2007)
Journal Article
Kilbride, L., Smith, G. D., & Grant, R. (2007). The frequency and cause of anxiety and depression amongst patients with malignant brain tumours between surgery and radiotherapy. Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 84, 297-304. doi:10.1007/s11060-007-9374-7

Introduction Between surgery and radiotherapy patients with a malignant glioma may encounter a number of psychosocial issues that could invoke an anxious or depressive response. This study explored the frequency, severity and cause of anxiety and de...

A pilot study of brain tumour growth between radiotherapy planning and delivery. (2006)
Journal Article
Pennington, C., Kilbride, L., Grant, R., & Wardlaw, J. M. (2006). A pilot study of brain tumour growth between radiotherapy planning and delivery. Clinical Oncology, 18, 104-108. doi:10.1016/j.clon.2005.09.004

Aims Delays between surgery and the delivery of radiotherapy may allow brain tumours to grow beyond the planned radiotherapy fields and therefore reduce the effectiveness of radiotherapy. This pilot study aimed to ascertain whether significant growt... Read More about A pilot study of brain tumour growth between radiotherapy planning and delivery..
