My 2014 interview with on The Jordan Rich Show; shared my concern about lack of awareness about #healthdisparities and lack of access back then. Six years later, folks are shocked by #COVID data. #CanYouHearMeNow?

The lack of difference w/wo histological confirmation is reassuring. However, I'm even more intrigued by the absolute median OS value which is very close to surgical series. @HoudaBahig @b_fischervaluck @DrAlexLouie #radonc #lcsm

ASTRO has published guidelines for cutaneous SCC/BCC. There are some difference from NCCN, namely that ASTRO recommends adjuvant RT for T3, T4, and close margins in SCC and NCCN does not. On my review, there is low quality evidence. 1/2

There is no agreed-upon definition on the term "oligometastatic #NSCLC" - particularly on the upper limit of lesions that qualify to be labeled as such. We've published two papers (https://t.co/fAkmZ2rUfy, https://t.co/hvC6T8RDJw) that explore this important topic. #LCSM
