Excited to share that our phase 2 trial #NeoLOCUS is now out in @LancetRH_SEAsia! A collective effort from the Head & Neck team @OffCMCVellore led by @todrashish
We report R0 rates, ORR, safety, survival outcomes, tumor immune microenvironment change🧵👇

We had a fantastic time celebrating our New Fellows during yesterday's Admission Ceremony!
Congratulations once again on this momentous occasion 👏

PRAGRAD, a new patient-driven treatment approach for very advanced oral cavity #cancers (which cannot be surgically removed) shows significant improvement in patient outcomes: prospective study by CMC #research team.
Instead of a one-size-fits-all plan, #patients are given the choice of #palliative care or aggressive chemoradiation, promoting shared decision-making and #PatientAutonomy.
It was found that when decision making was shared, more patients were willing to try aggressive chemoradiation; half the number who responded to initial #chemotherapy and continued aggressive treatment, survived over 30 months - 5 times longer than those choosing palliation (6 months). Nearly half survived beyond 2 years - a remarkable outcome for this advanced stage.

🧬🚨 New Study Alert! 🚨🧬 Our recent work dived into into BRCA1/2 mutations in India. There is limited data on population specific BRCA mutations in 🇮🇳. We used NGS to analyze 921 Indian women with suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). @OffCMCVellore#BRCA
Radiation Oncology 101 this #NEETPG season for the uninitiated med student. Most MBBS grads in India come across #RadOnc for the very first time when preparing for NEETPG & a 4 hour lecture doesn't cut what we do in our sacred basements. Here is a primer to help you choose. 1/n
🚨New Book on Low-Dose Radiation for Painful Musculoskeletal Conditions🚨 Free Download Now Available
Over the past year, there has been a remarkable surge of interest in using low-dose radiotherapy to treat painful musculoskeletal conditions like osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and bursitis. Many have inquired about how to initiate a program, secure institutional backing, leverage social media for promotion, and explore the supporting literature for these treatments.
This interest inspired Dr. Richard Shaffer and me to author a book designed to assist radiation oncologists and administrators in launching such programs. The book will serve as an excellent supplement to a structured training program.
❇️ The book is now available. Click on the link below to download 👇
❇️ All I request is for you to hit the repost button below so this can reach as many radiation oncologists as possible 👇

Can MRI and CT Radiomics Predict Treatment Outcome in Rectal Cancer? Pre-treatment MRI with clinical features shows potential. Personalization strategies (e.g. aggressive Tx for high-risk, organ preservation for low-risk patients need accurate predictors. https://t.co/mOYtzFFaf6

Dept of #Neonatology recently organised an 'NICU Graduates' Reunion' for premature babies who were under their care. More than 40 children with a birth weight of less than a kilo - currently between 2 and 5 years of age - participated along with their families.
