Where is RT 👀?
Despite overall dearth of RCTs comparing local modalities in HCC, we have randomized studies in support of RT across the disease spectrum:
Early/Intermediate stage: Loma Linda trial - RT (protons) vs. TACE: similar OS, RT better PFS & local control
Unresectable/Recurrent: RTOG 1112 (sorafenib +/- SBRT): SBRT better OS
Palliative: CCTG HE.1 (BSC vs. single fraction RT): RT improved pain
Sorry to miss the discussion @OncBrothers - hope there is a next time!
🚨If you’re a resident, fellow, or new attending physician w/ federal student loans🚨
Most of you will get a $1,000-5,000 bill in the mail when payments begin in September if you don’t make a plan.
This will be financially catastrophic for many.
Here’s TL;DR ⬇️

Grateful of been part of the ACS Congress 2022. Excellent experience! Future Surgeons loading…🇵🇷
Thanks to @jodieroure@LazcanoCayetana @LekawaMichael @gttefera @SandraFreiwald @goguiwaika @HMARIApr for the opportunity!
When folks think about highly vaccinated places in America
They think Vermont or CT or MA
Those places are good
But not the most vaccinated place in America
So who's #1?
Puerto Rico!
But PR has gotten way too little attention
Its worth reflecting on how they did it
