As there is an increased use of AI in clinic, real-time prediction based on clinical metrics we already gather (symptoms and vitals) may allow for early identification of high-risk patients and personalized toxicity management/screening.
Utilizing natural language processing, modeling which incorporated real-time clinical on-treatment variables predicted development of radiation pneumonitis post chemoRT in advanced lung cancer. @eClinicalMed@TischCancer@QuadShotNews

New insights on SBRT in recurrent ovarian cancer – now in CTRO:
“SBRT in recurrent oligometastatic ovarian cancer: An EORTC Y-ECI GCG systematic review”

🎯 Local control
⏳ Delayed systemic therapy
⚖️ Personalized strategy

⚡️⚡️NEW STUDY - presented today at #ARS2025 in an oral talk by MS2 Yarelis Roque-Reyes from UCC School of Medicine, PR
🧠💥 Does whole brain RT (WBRT) help patients hospitalized with symptomatic leptomeningeal disease (LMD)?
Our @MountSinaiRO study suggests: rarely — and in reality, it may be more harmful to patients’ quality of life and end-of-life care.
🧵👇 #radonc #neuroonc #endoflifecare #ARS2025
LMD is a devastating CNS complication with 3–6 mo survival. WBRT is often used for palliation — but for patients sick enough to need hospital admission, we asked:
👉 Does it actually help?
We reviewed 58 such patients (2014–2023). Here’s what we found ⬇️
📊 Symptom response after WBRT:
❌ 74% worsened
➖ 21% no change
✅ Only 5% improved
💀 Short-term mortality:
40% at 30 days
60% at 60 days
76% at 90 days
📉 ECOG declined in 79%
⏳ 30% spent >⅓ of their remaining lifespan on treatment — often in the hospital
🎯 Our takeaways
➡️ In hospitalized patients with symptomatic LMD, WBRT provides little to no clinical benefit
➡️ with few exceptions, best supportive care — not burdensome WBRT — should be the priority
➡️time to rethink WBRT in hospitalized pts with LMD?
👏 Congrats to Yarelis Roque-Reyes on her #ARS2025 oral talk!

One of our chief residents @DanielDickstein presented his work on navigating treatment discussions with patients from sexual and gender minority populations with prostate cancer at #ASTRO2024
Major congrats to my friend Dr Sofia Rivera on the HypoG-01 just presented at #ESMO2024
Hypofractionation not inferior to conventional fractionation for #BreastCancer with nodal RT.
✅Similar toxicity
✅Similar efficacy (BCSM OS LRFS DMFS)
