🚨🚨Brain RT can affect fine motor skills (FMS) ✍️📱 & 🖐️👁️coordination. But can we PREVENT it? YES! ➡️Check out our lab’s latest from 🔥Dr. Mike Connor: 1st NTCP study of FMS using multivariate approach & prospective data #btsm#survivorship#functionalpreservation 1/🧵
From #RedJournal: 1st NTCP analyses of fine motor skills decline after brain RT-using data from prospective trial. Dose to supratentorial motor ROIs (WM, cortex) predicted decline on dominant hand FMS at 6mo. @JHGLab@UCSDRadMed@MSalans#btsm#drconnor https://t.co/r0cw5C0rzO

🚨TOROEDO trial - superbly executed with uniform RT plan QA/no crossover.
No difference in either endpoints.
What’s next? Refine the strategy. Technology is a means to an end. Reduce volume and dose (gross/elective) with biology based therapy selection.

@Dr_RShatsky@DFCI_BreastOnc@nyugrossman@Perlmutter_CC Absolutely a team effort, learning from Dr. Yang-whose work has transformed the field-& how to bring this to our patients. We need great partners like @Dr_RShatsky who fiercely advocate for earlier detection & novel therapies #lmd
Groundbreaking presentation from @JHGLab - NIH-funded trial of Brain connectome-sparing SRS w/ AI-supported planning approaches is:
-feasible
-assoc with good tumor control and stable/improved cognitive function
-time for a randomized trial!
@NeuroOnc
Congratulation to all awardees🎉🥳, especially our own Helen Shih who we are so lucky to have amongst us. Dr Shih's passion for mentoring and excellence is absolutely amazing, and she does it all with the highest level of diligence & integrity. An inspiration to all of us‼️ 👏👏👏
