@gerryhanna @TheLancetOncol @DrewMoghanaki @finn_corinne @cpeedell @Mat_Guc @gwalls89 @HegiFiona @_ShankarSiva @drdavidpalma Interesting that a phase 2 trial got ethics approval for a therapy that has not yet shown significant curative potential, with an endpoint of 2 year PFS, omitting a treatment (Radiotherapy) that is widely available and has substantial CURATIVE potential in this cohort.

@VivekSubbiah @StevenLin_MDPhD @Nature @MDAndersonNews @adam_grippin Amazing work. COVID vaccination induces powerful PD-L1 expression in draining nodes in lung cancer patients on PD-L1 PET scans! https://t.co/FbohwywEJf

@SeanPitroda @IJROBP Biology around this topic is complicated and not just for radiation treatment! https://t.co/2Q5K0SYBrJ

Epitaph on a Tyrant
Perfection, of a kind, was what he was after,……,
He knew human folly like the back of his hand…….
When he laughed, respectable senators burst with laughter,
And when he cried the little children died in the streets.

@PeterMacRadOnc @DavidDbal @PeterMacCC @PeterMacRes @HegiFiona Fiona is an amazingly dedicated and inspiring colleague and it is always interesting and fun to work together to make discoveries that might help our patients in future. She was very generous in the podcast!

@gerryhanna @HegiFiona @PeterMacRadOnc @ICR_London @finn_corinne @LcsmUk @gwalls89 @K_Butterworth @royalmarsdenNHS @AstraZeneca @FordePatrick @CRUKresearch @DrJNaidoo Great work Magnus. Interactions between radiotherapy and T Cells are very promising for future advances in cancer therapy!

@HegiFiona @PeterMacRadOnc @gerryhanna The Ireland, Melbourne, UK connections continue to flourish!

It was great to see so much top quality science happening at your centre in Belfast. Really looking forward to pursuing our joint project on the immune effects of Radiation Therapy!

@belinda_campbe @BrJHaem @PeterMacCC @PeterMacRadOnc @TheMartyHiggins @Philippajohnst5 @PeterMacRes @AustralasianLy1 @RANZCRcollege @WomenInLymphoma @UniMelb Fantastic work Belinda and team!

@gerryhanna @QubPGJCCR @PeterMacCC @HegiFiona @gwalls89 @ProfJOSullivan @PeterMacRadOnc @PeterMacRes @svporceddu @AnnaNow @DrJNaidoo @FordePatrick @Dr_AJC Of course none of this would have been possible without my amazingly clever and dedicated programme co-chair @HegiFiona who has worked so hard to make this happen. Our fantastic nuclear medicine physician Tim Akhurst is the other key person upon whom the project depends.

@gerryhanna @QubPGJCCR @PeterMacCC @HegiFiona @gwalls89 @ProfJOSullivan @PeterMacRadOnc @PeterMacRes @svporceddu @AnnaNow @DrJNaidoo @FordePatrick @Dr_AJC Thank you so much for being such a great host Gerry. It was a pleasure to meet up with the radiation oncology and physics teams and see the great work they are doing. Looking forward to collaborating on the Melbourne Belfast Dublin project on the immune effects of radiation!

Very impressive to see how radiation oncology research in Ireland is growing in scope and achievement. Looking forward to deepening clinical and research collaborations between Peter Mac @PeterMacRadOnc and Ireland!

Amazing data on KV minibeam treatments at Mayo Clinic presented at MMND-ITRO in Sydney. Fantastic local and abscopal responses in patients with highly resistant tumours! Encouraging for pursuing MRT research at Australian Synchrotron! @ausynchrotron @MayoClinic @PeterMacRadOnc
