ASTRO is deeply disturbed by the inaccurate, inappropriate, and irresponsible NBC News piece on IORT. We feel this story harms care for breast cancer patients & have strongly rebutted it through our Breast Cancer Resource Panel & a letter from ASTRO CEO, Vivek S Kavadi, MD to NBC News.

EBRT is conspicuously absent, while TACE, with ~50% local failure rates, continues to be elevated despite having some of the worst LF rates of any so-called “local control” modality across oncology. We can do better. #HCC

BCLC best for prognostication, not treatment algorithms.

@ChristopherACSM Are we being honest with ourselves about the proportion of men this truly affects?

Over 40% of American men are obese... i don't think we are training so hard that we are infertile

[Quinn (💩,👑) @tjquinn87]

@SprakerMDPhD Is OS the correct endpoint for pancreas, looking at dose escalation? Seems like we'd want to look at local control?

@elonmusk A coke problem?

@PriorityHealth why don't you allow proton therapy for young women with hodgkins lymphoma of the head and neck?

@DrewMoghanaki Going to need a p2p and appeal about imrt sir...🫠🫠😭😭😭

🤯Taming the 🦁: Proton Therapy for Severe Leonine Facies from cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL)🤯

🔥RT is incredibly effective for symptom palliation from CTCL!

Simply put - RT in this case enabled a new opportunity and “new view” at independent life

🔥Scanning Proton Arc Therapy (SPArc) SFRT!🔥

In-silico study shows that SPArc, when compared with VMAT or IMPT, is associated with:

✅Steeper high dose gradients
⬇️Gradient indices
✅Faster treatment time

🔎TBL: SPArc dosimetry may theoretically enhance the effects of SFRT

[Matt Spraker @SprakerMDPhD]

This is really cool.

I once saw a pilot IMPT/Arc Lattice plan a couple years ago and the treatment time was much longer than VMAT.

Here IMPT delivery is faster.

@SprakerMDPhD We are looking forward to using RIPL (shameless grateful dead plug) clinically very soon!

@elonmusk Seems like you need to phrase it differently, it has the information and is not suppressed

Lattice and GRID for #sarcoma

Largest series to date! 😍

Great job from the Mayo team!

[Quinn (💩,👑) @tjquinn87]

@karna_md @ParikhSimul Yes, but come on... absurd that they even ask this

[Quinn (💩,👑) @tjquinn87]

I have a lady with T2b NSCLC of the RLL. Tumor is a little thick, and moves quite a bit, and is adjacent to proximal bronchial tree.

I proposed hypofractionated radiation with 15 fractions [70Gy in 15].

@evicorehc denied the case and would not even allow a peer review.
