Lung cancer needs to be prioritized as one of America’s top-5 public health problems. Learn how the VA understands this and is addressing it through a national initiative known as LPOP: https://t.co/swCMZ4060h
One of the most satisfying & moving parts of my job is seeing how residence progress in their careers. I love to root them on and cheer for them.
I met Kekoa in 2017 and am so proud of him and all he’s doing in cancer care today. 👏👏
Freddie has been officially immortalized. He will always be remembered for his vision, commitment, and passion in working with Jenny Donovan and the rest of the ProtecT team to forever change the way we think about men affected by prostate cancer. I remain deeply saddened to learn he has pancreatic cancer, yet so happy he’s still doing well 5 years after the diagnosis. @QuinteTBristol@NehaVapiwala@TylerSbrt
@x suspended my account @stathisktw for no reason. I appealed, their AI admitted it was a mistake and claimed the account was restored but it is still suspended. I lost all of my bookmarks. Now I am saving everything In @obsidian and building my own decentralized personal knowledge base.
@MuzamilArshad18@HardenedBeam@StathisKX Look into MIM. They are the industry standard with unparalleled one-click fusion. Best customer service too in radonc.
🚨 Team UCLA supporting @MichelleEalaMD presenting the world’s largest series of Percutaneous HDR Brachyablation for very high-risk primary and metastatic lung tumors. Even Chuck Simone was surprised by the 98.3% LC rate with median f/u of nearly 3 years. New std of care? PTX rate (7%) was lower than thermal ablation, with G3 AE 0.7%. #ASTRO26
@NehaVapiwala speaking now in her #ASTRO26 Presidential address, giving us all an immediate call to action to get out of the basement and better communicate the strengths of our field 💪🏼 @ASTRO_org
Sean Pitroda, whose work has raised concerns about the Badscopal effect, shares a few words of wisdom at #ASTRO26. Including the importance of total metastatic ablation of all visible sites in case irradiation of one tumor signals another unirradiated to grow.
Great take home points by @CJTsaiMDPhD regarding how to think about SBRT for oligoprogressive stage IV NSCLC. For those who aren’t aware, she’s the PI of the CURB & CURB2 randomized trials. #ASTRO26
Critical slides from today’s update at #ASTRO26 on MDT-BRIDGE to better understand what happened to the 7/50 (14%) pts with borderline resectable stage III NSCLC who all could’ve been treated with CRT, but never got any local tx after enrolling in this study that started them on nCIO. @sueyom@StephenVLiu
TRIDENT Study: Sad to see another negative phase III study for GBM with post-op TTF with nearly 1,000 randomized. Post-hoc analysis suggests variable compliance may have confounded the primary analysis. #ASTRO26 1/
