𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁: "Doctor, before we start treatment, can you guarantee that this will cure my disease?"

𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿: "I understand your concern for a guaranteed cure. However, in modern medicine, we avoid making such guarantees and extravagant claims"

𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁: "Why is that?"

𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿: "Firstly, diseases are complex. Your body's response to treatment can vary greatly compared to someone else, making it challenging to predict exact outcomes."

𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁: "Does that mean your treatment might not work?"

𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿: "Not necessarily. It means that each person's response to treatment can differ. Factors like genetics and lifestyle play a significant role."

"Also, medical science is always evolving. What we know today might change tomorrow as new research and treatments emerge."

𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁: "So, you're saying modern medicine doesn't have all the answers?"

𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿: "Exactly. While we've made incredible advances, there are still limitations. Some conditions are manageable rather than curable."

"It's also about ethics. Promising a cure can lead to false hope. Our goal is to provide the best possible care based on current knowledge."

𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁: "I've seen some alternative medicine doctors guarantee of cures. How do they do this?"

𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿: "That's an interesting observation. The approach in alternative medicine can be quite different from conventional practices."

𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁: "Does that mean their guarantees are reliable?"

𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿: "Not necessarily. While some people may find relief, these guarantees often lack the backing of rigorous scientific research that is standard in modern medicine."

"In many cases, the promise of a cure can be more about marketing or belief in the treatment's effectiveness, rather than proven results."

𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁: "So, are these treatments ineffective?"

𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿: "It's not that simple. Some alternative therapies may provide benefits, but they should be approached with caution, especially when they claim 'guaranteed' results."

𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁: "What should I do then?"

𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿: "Always research thoroughly, seek multiple opinions, and consider the evidence behind any treatment, modern medicine or alternative. 𝘜𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴."

𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁: "I appreciate your honesty. It helps to know these things."

𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿: "Absolutely. It's important to have open and honest conversations about your treatment and expectations."

Short review on SCRT!!! Very apt & useful!!💥
Thank you @DrEmmaHolliday

[Emma B. Holliday MD @DrEmmaHolliday]

There has been a lot of 🔥discussion lately of short course radiation (SCRT) for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).
I❤️SCRT bc it is convenient for working patients or those who travel for 🏥care. However, the RAPIDO update gives me pause. Let’s look at the history of SCRT:

TNT is getting complicated 😅. Great summary slide! Short corse vs long course? Chemor or XRT first? Need to make individualized decisions for patients. #GI23

Neo-AEGIS: FLOT v CROSS for esoph/GEJ (n=362)

362 pts. No dif in 3-yr OS (57% v 55%), though path outcomes improved w chemoRT.

Not surprised that for all-comers no dif, clearly not one size fits all. Interested in future studies of chemo-->chemoRT-->surg. #GI23 @OncoAlert

This 40 year old patient was diagnosed with rectal cancer in 2019. He would have been cancer free a year ago instead he now has damaged kidneys, severe anaemia & loss of vision in both his eyes besides uncontrolled end stage cancer thanks Ayurvedic medications.

I would like to share the story of how a patient with cancer came up with the idea for a randomized trial, & how listening to him saved a lot of lives.

1/ In 2002, I had just completed a randomized trial with the notorious drug thalidomide for the cancer, multiple myeloma.
