Rad Onc resident in Texas. Into Longhorn sports, BBQ, and dogs. Tweets = my own opinion.

With the rapid advancements in systemic therapy in breast cancer, it is important to consider the potential safety concerns with concurrent radiation. Check out my recent article! #BCSM #RadOnc https://t.co/Du6dIxp8Xk

The rising incidence of #colorectalcancer in young adults is a crisis. We must keep working to figure out why this is happening, and how to take better care of these patients. #RipChadwickBosman @ColonCancerDoc @CathyEngMD @ACKoongMDPhD @DrEmmaHolliday

[Andrew Farach, MD @AndrewFarach]

Given the #TexasCOVID surge we are preparing for an increased number of #patients requiring #radonc therapy even if testing positive. I tested combining an #aquaplast mask with a protective surgical mask. It was surprisingly well tolerated. #MaskUp @HMethodistMD @TXMedCenter

Every doctor (and patient) needs to watch this! Beware- there is some hardcore biochemistry 🤓 ”Sugar: The Bitter Truth” https://t.co/hDMxrJANgP

Many countries will have Italy’s #COVID19 burden in less than two weeks. How many are appropriately preparing?

Japan social-distancing measures flattened the curve earlier. How many countries will learn from Japan?

Enjoying the Head and Neck Symposium and excited to present our results so far on chemoradiation toxicity in the modern era! #HNCS20 Not a bad location either 🤓😉🏌🏽‍♂️🏜@cd_fuller @RaedZuhour @AlisonMesserMD @RTxDoc

[Jay Messer @JayAMesser]

Great summary on controversial topics! We are blessed to have such high caliber professors in the wonderful nation of #TEXAS

[David Sher @DavidSherMD]

Absolutely masterful lectures on prostate cancer by @ndesai2005 @DrMikeFolkert @ChadTangMD at #TRS2020 @TxRadSociety. Prostate cancer doesn’t stand a chance in Texas!

[Jay Messer @JayAMesser]

Thank you for the opportunity to speak at #TRS2020! I’m proud to be a part of the #TEXAS #radonc clan! @TxRadSociety @AndrewFarach #hncsm

[Andrew Farach, MD @AndrewFarach]

State-of-the-art GI SBRT session @TxRadSociety #radonc is strong in Texas 🤠 @RadiologyACR

[Jay Messer @JayAMesser]

Finally made it to #TRS2020! Great talk about the downside of metrics by @SamirPatel_MD! @TxRadSociety

Check out our @JAMAOnc Patient Page on Brachytherapy https://t.co/UuDpP4yie9 @loveandmedicine @AmericanBrachy #brachytherapy

[Alex Hanania @RTxDoc]

This is horrific. "Negative-Ion" marketed products being sold online @amazon are actively irradiating people searching for wellness. Striking parallels to the radium coated watches, popular in the 1920s. https://t.co/opE2BivUKk

[Alex Hanania @RTxDoc]

Our best weapons against cancer are not magic bullets https://t.co/zbrBh9VAt1

[Alison Messer @AlisonMesserMD]

Agree! Also- improving the obesity epidemic would be a cheaper magic bullet not just for cancer, but for cardiovascular disease, skin disease, mental health, etc

[Jay Messer @JayAMesser]

Excellent talk! Always exciting to hear the leaders in @AmericanBrachy highlight the importance of this life saving treatment and how to advance the field!

[Alex Hanania @RTxDoc]

Enjoyed hearing from @TimShowalter1 today and the #brachytherapy process at UVA. Special thanks to “Eight-Implant-A-Day” @AndrewFarach for hosting! @AmericanBrachy

[Kekoa Taparra, MD, PhD, MPH @KekoaMDPhD]

How exciting! History in the making for #radonc. Wouldn’t expect anything less from the #WFMC @MayoClinic. Congrats @MayoCancerCare @n_laack

A Multifocal #lungcancer, ground glass lesion treated with #SBRT
B 3.5 years later (with permission)

This resulted from❓
a. massive TGFb release
b. tumor hypoxia
c. alpha/beta >20Gy
d. local immunosupression

[Jay Messer @JayAMesser]

Great talk by @cd_fuller about standardizing data to turn #BigData into Big Information and knowledge. Need the #radonc community to buy in. #ASTRO19

[Jay Messer @JayAMesser]

Proud to be a part of this important project. Great job presenting @RaedZuhour!! #ASTRO19

[Raed Zuhour @RaedZuhour]

Excited for the opportunity to present research with @JayAMesser showing improvement in outcomes over time for the treatment of large Choroidal Melanoma lesions treated with eye plaque brachytherapy! #ASTRO2019 #radonc #Brachytherapy

[Bouthaina Dabaja MD @BouthainaDabaja]

HD16 for HL is out. Negative Interim PET does not cancel the need for #radiation. Dr. Eich showed the inferior outcome for omitting RT and similarOS comes at the expense of adding salvage therapy! @ARRO_org @ASTRO_org @ILROGTeam
