New review in Cellular Signalling: how prostate cancer evades radiation. We discuss key mechanisms of radioresistance—DDR pathways, AR signaling, hypoxia, TME—and highlight actionable targets to improve RT outcomes. https://t.co/Aw2dtSRkmS #ProstateCancer @VUMCRadOnc

Great overview in @NatRevUrol from @UrogerliMD and colleagues re: novel IO combinations, and additional brand new data from our published work with intravesical IO + oncolytic reovirus in murine models. @UroCancerMD @AKRadDoc

[Nature Reviews Urology @NatRevUrol]

Intravesical instillation with a PDL1 inhibitor, an oncolytic reovirus or the combination of the two in an orthotopic murine model of bladder cancer improves survival by generating an immuno-responsive TME.

New MRI technique can differentiate radionecrosis from recurrent brain tumor. Glad to be a part of this important work. https://t.co/znvJv1qmkA

Eagerly awaited results of randomized RADICALS trial shows 2yr ADT is better at preventing Metastases than 6mo or no ADT when giving post-prostatectomy radiotherapy https://t.co/JULfLoPm5c

Really interesting animal model of radionecrosis by Dr. Kirschner’s group! Hopeful that this model will lead to a better understanding of CNS toxicity @AKRadDoc #radonc #CancerResearch #CNSOnc
