@Sushilberiwal So much to be said about a well conducted trial, even if the result doesn’t favour RT. Simultaneous presentation and NEJM Publication (proud wife here)

[Pearly Khaw @pixiepk1]

@KnvAdithya69257 @ILSONDavid Feel free to email your question to Prof Leong. He doesn’t do social media, so won’t see this!

@svporceddu @PeterMacRadOnc @PeterMacCC @anzgog @TargetingCancer @FacRadOncology We will miss you, Prof B!

[Pearly Khaw @pixiepk1]

@sylvia_vandyk @PeterMacRadOnc Dr B, or rather A/Prof, your wisdom and mentorship will be sorely missed! But you deserve time away from work now ❤️

[Pearly Khaw @pixiepk1]

@WAAMBMEDIC What ru doing, PB?

[Pearly Khaw @pixiepk1]

@heatherewart1 @ABCTV Don’t work too hard!

[Pearly Khaw @pixiepk1]

A little late to this party, but if you’re after a good read, can highly recommend!!!

Happy publication day to my book baby 🥳

I hope you’ll enjoy this deliberately realistic and fast-paced glimpse into modern Australian hospitals and medical training, and how patients, and healthcare workers might live, love and survive.

Available at all bookstores, today!

@LaraEdbrooke @PeterMacRes @LindaDenehy @LindaMileshkin @OrlaMcNally7 Well done Lara! So comfortable and happy to recommend “exercise” to all my patients now.

@JudkinsSimon @BlueDotRedStat3 Likewise but managed to dodge it when the family brought it home. No idea how but thankful for the vaccine!!!

Maybe we need to make brachy “sexy” again?!

[Pearly Khaw @pixiepk1]

@drspdavid @DrDavidKok @belinda_campbe @sylvia_vandyk @KamravaMD @JMIRO_Journal @sandraturner49 @bogmund @AusBrachy @AmericanBrachy Disagree Steven. The benefits of using brachytherapy is selective situations are still far better than anything achievable with EBRT. No data showing SABR better either. Benefits of brachy need to be stressed appropriately.

Congratulations to Professor Trevor Leong, the Principal Investigator of the “TOPGEAR” Phase III trial, a large Australian-led international trial that seeks to answer important questions about the best treatment for patients with gastric cancer. #NHMRCAwards

@DrKate_Miller @jesflres Me too!

@svporceddu @PeterMacCC @PeterMacRadOnc @TROGfightcancer @RANZCRcollege @FacRadOncology @anzhncs Welcome back @svporceddu! When will you update your bio? Looking forward to catching up with you in and out of work.

[Pearly Khaw @pixiepk1]

@shalinivinod13 @TROGfightcancer @TheJamo Thanks for the mention! (Sorry for the delayed response… have been off Twitter for a bit)

[Pearly Khaw @pixiepk1]

@aishamae What about the requirements for attending hospital - have they changed the need for a negative PCR prior to surgery???

[Pearly Khaw @pixiepk1]

@gerryhanna @nidirect Surely it’s got to work then? 🤣

[Pearly Khaw @pixiepk1]

@sueyom @ParikhSimul @LindaMileshkin PORTEC-3 was opened at a time when IMRT/VMAT was not SOC in many centres involved in the trial. 3DCRT used predominantly for that reason. Have submitted QA Analysis for publication. Hopefully you’ll be able to read further the details once published
