@drdavidpalma Ive had good outcomes utilizing this bid approach in nsclc local failure cases like these. colorectal might make me consider sib, agree w hales the hemoptysis would make me worry about tumor erosion through bronchus and further damaging that airway

New in #practicalRO: Electron Field Shaping with a 3D-Printed, Tungsten-Infused Multileaf Collimator: A Practical, Low-Cost, Reusable, and Customizable Alternative to Traditional Cutouts. https://t.co/7U7FGSYpjo

@ASTRO_org Thanks for featuring our work, we've improved the design significantly, and made an exam room setup for creating our shapes off the machine, planning a follow up paper to describe workflow soon. @RadOncDoc_Niema @hughrt7

Using a commercial 3D printer and tungsten-infused filament, our eMLC device can be shaped to any shape within the 14x14 carriage

eMLC setup/calc🟰current processes + MLCs are fixed in place for tx

After tx🏁, eMLC leaves can be unlocked & re-shaped, allowing multiple uses

Thanks to PRO for publishing our manuscript about electron field shaping with 3D printed tungsten MLCs. https://t.co/z9fAtXVD4a

@drdavidpalma built magnets into the base of some of them so they would stick to the scope station easily

[Michael Farris MD @MikeFarrisMD]

@drdavidpalma Love it, we made a bunch of these using inspiration from one of your prior papers.

Interesting article: “While radiation oncologists are classically trained to interpret clinical scenarios…residents are provided with limited formal training in diagnostic image interpretation,” RO expert Ryan T. Hughes, MD, with Wake Forest University in Winston Salem, North Carolina, and co-authors advised. “As a result, significant variability in tumor delineation may exist between radiation oncologists and radiologists.”

The final tally included nearly 40,000 radiotherapy cases detailed in 31 different analyses. Higher rates of RT plan changes were seen with radiologist involvement (49%) versus cases without such peer review (25%). Radiologist participation also was associated with increases in major (47% vs. 10%) but not minor changes (15% vs. 14%). #radiology #radonc #imaging

In this secondary analysis of CALGB 30610, advanced age, male gender, N-stage, group stage, and treatment at low-mid accrual centers were associated with decreased overall survival in patients with small-cell lung cancer #SCLC. https://t.co/f6BeigYIol @MikeFarrisMD

Breaking: @MikeFarrisMD presenting a study concept testing novel software developed @WakeCancer to facilitate collaborative #radonc and #radiology RT planning to improve RT plans and inform imaging follow-up! Looking forward to this impactful #ccdr concept #WFNCORP24

of n=2,103, % cases with PR discussion⬆️from 10%🧑‍💻 to 26%🧑‍🏫. Increases in discussion occurred across most topics tracked. Change recs significantly⬆️from 1.5% to 3.3%

when put side-by-side with our prior data, a remarkable trend in PR discussion is apparent:

In a prior study, we found statistically significant decreases in PR discussion across all topics when converting from 🧑‍🏫➡️🧑‍💻 during #COVID19

this was also associated with ⬇️ plan changes

@PDBrownOnc @WakeCancer @wakeradonc @MayoRadOnc Thanks for the shout out
Hopefully we can turn this into a bigger study soon

Congrats @MikeFarrisMD & @WakeCancer @wakeradonc colleagues
Small trial so can’t be definitive re: fracture risk, nonetheless no signal on this phase IIR

@karna_md We involve them weekly in our rt planning sbrt hypofrac conference, setup ways to share our scrollable plans with them in pacs when needed and showed them where to see our treatment summary notes from mosaiq. They also have presented tough followups for us to weigh in
