Cancer’s impact transcends borders. Mission-driven @ASTRO_org members like @TamerRefaatMD are leading ASTRO’s charge to address #radiotherapy care access & quality on a global scale. His words are inspiring, but it’s his actions - alongside those of many other committed colleagues - that will move the needle. Come listen & learn how to get more involved!
ASTRO is deeply disturbed by the inaccurate, inappropriate, and irresponsible NBC News piece on IORT. We feel this story harms care for breast cancer patients & have strongly rebutted it through our Breast Cancer Resource Panel & a letter from ASTRO CEO, Vivek S Kavadi, MD to NBC News.

Terrific thread by @seanmmcbride
While it is important to keep an open mind when faced with bizarre results, the raw survival numbers are almost incomprehensible.
In the ITT population:
- In the IMRT arm, there were 29 recurrences (Table 1) and 23 deaths due to cancer (Table S1).
- In the IMPT arm, there were 25 recurrences and 11 deaths due to cancer.
- Thus, 79% of IMRT recurrences led to cancer-specific mortality, versus only 44% of IMPT recurrences.
In the PP population:
- In the IMRT arm, there were 23 recurrences and 27 deaths (Fig 3b), of which 10 were without progression (Table 1). We don’t know further causes of death.
- In the IMPT arm, there were 23 recurrences and only 16 deaths, of which 9 were without progression.
- Thus, 74% (17/23) IMRT recurrent patients died, and only 30% (7/23) IMPT recurrent patients died.
These survival after salvage numbers aren’t just statistically significant, they are miraculous. To have 70% of R/M HNSCC alive after IMPT has to reflect something beyond biology.
I’m looking forward to the final publication and analysis, but there is a “know it when you see it" phenomenon with confounding, and that appears to hold here.

Thank you to @DrSpratticus,
@RaedZuhour, @angela_jia_ , and the team at University Hospitals for their leadership in advancing radiation oncology workflows. The comprehensive modeling of their processes was achieved with an impressive balance of standardization, customization, and flexibility, accommodating the unique needs of the patient, their physicians, and the clinical teams.
9/ Revolutionizing workflows with our end to end custom built learning health system for radonc with @MedLever.
Led by @RaedZuhour , our team built a learning radiation oncology EMR—fully automating orders, documentation, nursing tasks, billing, and physics workflows. Gets better and better every iteration.
@ParikhSimul @oncoramed@JordanJ65544091 We use Aria or MOSAIQ as the source of truth, so everything we generate ends up there.
We can work with your technical team to determine how that content gets into Epic at the encounter level.
@ParikhSimul @oncoramed@JordanJ65544091 We can auto generate all the needed documents, provide a medium for multi-department access and set up the tasks and notifications to clinical and revenue cycle team members.
Are you attending #ASTRO23? Come check us out at Booth 3523.
@medlever is the air-traffic control for your clinic and the digital assistant for your #radonc workflow.
See our automation engine simplify documentation and our electronic task-tracking whiteboards keep the whole department in sync. See you in San Diego!
@RadOncUH@RaySearch@KashaniRojano@DrSpratticus Thank you for that shout-out, @RadOncUH and @DrSpratticus 😀
