@Mat_Guc @drdavidpalma @lhscradonc @LHSCCanada Thank you @mat_guc! Looking forward to having your team on board. Your support is much appreciated!

[Tim Nguyen @TimkWin]

ARREST-2 opened for accrual yesterday! This is a new randomized phase 2/3 trial for patients with >10 mets that hopes to challenge the current radiotherapy paradigm for patients with polymetastatic disease.
Thanks to the whole team esp @drdavidpalma and @lhscradonc @LHSCCanada

[Tim Nguyen @TimkWin]

@conni_t212 @drdavidpalma @lhscradonc @LHSCCanada Yes, bone mets are included

@SahgalArjun @Sunnybrook It was an all around fantastic fellowship with great people who are friends to this day. Appreciate all the mentorship and help you have and continue to provide, Arj!

[Tim Nguyen @TimkWin]

@ErinGillespieMD @RachelJimenezMD @PagingDrPage @HopkinsMedicine Inspiring work! Really enjoyed this talk and learned a lot. Gets us all thinking how we can make our programs more inclusive

[Niema Razavian, MD @RadOncDoc_Niema]

Time for Session #2 at #ROECSG22 moderated by @SprakerMDPhD + @JillGunther - New Education Programs to Expand #radonc Skillsets

What innovations are you excited to see implemented?

#ROECSG22

[Tim Nguyen @TimkWin]

Really excited for this one. Looking forward to enrolling patients asap. Great work leading this @Melissa_O_Neil

[Melissa O'Neil, MSc, MRT(T) @Melissa_O_Neil]

Very excited to open DART, an MRT-led RCT investigating a "sim-free" workflow using recent diagnostic CTs to plan simple palliative RT. Thanks to @drdavidpalma for mentoring and supporting this work!

[Tim Nguyen @TimkWin]

Very interesting initiative. Would definitely be useful for application reviewers. Nice adaptation of a tool that has worked well in emergency medicine #ROECSG22

@roecsg @IvyRadOncMD @XRT_GabrielleWP @ErinGillespieMD @d_golden @fumikochino @VidalRadOnc @TimkWin @SteveBraunstein @RachelJimenezMD @roecsg UGME working group is developing a standardized letter of recommendation for #radonc #medstudent applicants to🔽 bias and ⬆️equity/diversity.

Looking to build LOR 📨based on characteristics important to residency programs/stakeholders

[Tim Nguyen @TimkWin]

Bravo @SondosZayedMD! Our #radonc resident-led research program for medical students (ORIoN) adapted to a virtual format in its 4th year due to COVID19. Program still beneficial to residents and students alike vs. historical in-person iterations. #ROECSG22

[Tim Nguyen @TimkWin]

Nice talk by Dr. Thomas sharing updated framework for core competencies in #radonc residency training (Milestones 2.0). Great example of the importance of ongoing program evaluation and how it can inform meaningful improvements

How many of those were invitations to submit articles or go to conferences that don’t have anything to do with oncology?

For me it’s probably 80%

[Shankar Siva @_ShankarSiva]

Marginal failures after bone SBRT is a thing! This guideline may help target delineation https://t.co/FlLOoi0DfJ - 11 cases, 9 #radonc contours international effort 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇭🇦🇺🇰🇷🇳🇱. Suggest a 5mm-10mm intraosseous margin for microscopic disease. Extraosseous margin for cortex breach

Thank you to @CDNCancerTrials, all my co investigators, @TROGfightcancer, @Sunnybrook, @UofTSpine, @UofTDRO and @TheLancetOncol
as sc24 is out and shows 24Gy in 2 sbrt fractions is superior to conv radiation for selected painful spinal metastases

[Tim Nguyen @TimkWin]

@axarifin @DianaLinMed @DrCorreaRO @goodmanC_MD @Dr_RDinniwell @drdavidpalma Awesome presentation Andrew! Great work as always

[Matthias Guckenberger @Mat_Guc]

Despite isotropic margins are widely used in #radonc , there are many situations where this approach is suboptimal
👉 Interesting methodology for computing direction-dependent margins for the development of consensus contouring guidelines
