So thrilled to have led this ๐๐๐ international Delphi project with the pioneers of #simfreeRT.
๐ฃ Consensus guidelines for clinical implementation of non-adaptive sim-free RT now available in AdvRadOnc!

Brilliant talk by @Melissa_O_Neil at #SABR2025 on sim-free SBRT. Sim-free palliative RT is reality NOW, & sim free SBRT is achievable in select indications using advanced platform but will be made more widely available.
Very exciting for patient convenience / system efficiency
And the winners are...
#ASTRO25 attendees voted to select AI and Machine Learning as the innovations that will most transform the field in the next 10 years. Thank you for taking time to vote!
The Force was with us today @UTSW_RadOnc!
We treated our first HANSOLO patient using Ethos: Head And Neck radiotherapy with Simulation Omitted and setup and pLanning Online.
Patient needed emergent radiotherapy to control bleeding but may receive definitive treatment later, so we needed to deliver a short-course of IMRT quickly.
@MHLinPhD generated a treatment plan based on diagnostic imaging, with the mask made in the treatment room after aligning to a reference surface generated from the diagnostic CT. The typical online ART workflow then proceeded as usual.
The entire process took approximately 35 minutes, and he was in/out of the department in less than one hour.
Tremendous kudos to our incredible physics and therapy teams who made it seamless!
@AshwinShindeMD@drdavidpalma@IJROBP@Melissa_O_Neil 2. using โself-madeโ curved couch top (see 2020 PRO paper by @Shelley_WongRT et al - vacc bag does not have to be remoulded between pts),
3. worst case assumption through bulk overrides (sometimes around diaphragm),
4. occasionally 3DCRT over IMRT/VMAT,

Your #Delphi leadership will produce further guidance re safe & #equitable sim-free RT. Widely implementable incl in community centres and #LMICs!

Congrats to @r_glicksman and the team @RadMedPM@RMPCRProgram@pmcancercentre for publishing this Ph2 single arm study of SBRT for OPD.
๐1yr PFS 32%; median 4.7mo overall, different by histology
๐1 patient had Gr3 tox; overall very well tolerated
๐No significant decline in QOL

Told my ๐ฉ๐ช friends @Mike_Oertel_MD & @RuehleAlex about this important ๐ฆ๐บ and increasingly ๐ #RT awareness initiative. Check it out too!
We highly enjoyed the damp run past iconic DC sites. ๐๐๐ organisers.
Come listen to @APrice_BeamOn, @KashaniRojano, Mu-Han Li and me discuss everything sim-free (including these awesome data from @th1loz and co) Monday afternoon at EDU 31 at #ASTRO2024 โข๏ธ
Excellent #ASTRO24 session by @AnnaLaVigneMD, Sara Alcorn & co on disparities in palliative RT including awesome granular data on US โpalliative RT desertsโ.
