✨ ASTRO 2025 Reflections ✨
This year’s ASTRO was one of the best I can remember. Enormous credit goes to @SameerKeoleMD for his vision and leadership, it truly came to life in an inspiring way.
One theme stood out above all: the surging interest in functional radiotherapy. The meeting was packed with practice-changing data and insights, plenty for our field to digest and discuss in the months ahead.
To keep the momentum going, I’m excited to announce a 3-Part ASTRO Webinar Series where we’ll explore functional radiotherapy in depth and recap the most important data presented at the meeting.
📅 The first session will be on October 15th:
Pearls and Pitfalls in Non-Malignant Radiation Therapy — Challenging Case Presentations
Featuring:
•Dr. Richard Shaffer
•Dr M. Heinrich Seegenschmiedt
More details to follow next week. I hope you’ll join us for what promises to be an insightful series. #ASTRO2025

ChatGPT tells me the average #radonc sees about 30 new breast cases/year
At least half would be 26/5 candidates I reckon
So over the course of a 30 year career, you would see
~9 (nine!)
women have a breast cancer recurrence after 26/5
Nine women in 30 years
Amazing.
