Well-done paper on recurrence detection for HPV+ oropharyngeal cancer. Will be interesting to see how detection method changes with more routine ctDNA surveillance testing.
Across an 8-year span, 80% of patients with recurrent HPV+ oropharyngeal cancer had their recurrence detected through symptom changes vs imaging surveillance. https://t.co/U7FJL8f1n1

1/They say form follows function! Brain MRI anatomy is best understood in terms of both form & function. Here’s a short thread to help you to remember important functional brain anatomy--so you truly can clinically correlate!

No survival benefit with TMZ in elderly patients (majority over age 70) with "truly" unmethylated MGMTp glioblastoma, and RT alone superior to TMZ alone. ~45% GBMs meet cutoff of "truly" unmethylated. Nice analysis of NOA-08 and CE.6 in Neuro-Onc. https://t.co/PytRqoVqLd

Nice review on the work-up and management of leptomeningeal disease, an entity that unfortunately we see commonly in our practice. https://t.co/fnZeO6Qt8n

Elective nodal RT (with 6 months of ADT) for oligorecurrent prostate cancer to the pelvis results in impressive 69% bRFS at 3 years beating MDT arm.
#ESTRO24 @piet_ost presenting outcomes of STORM randomized Ph II of MDT v ENRT for oligorecurrent prostate cancer #pcsm ✅ ENRT ⬆️BRFS, LRFS MDT a/w 8-fold ⬆️ nodal recurrence 3➡️25% Omitting PB ⬆️ local recurrences 3-fold (5➡️14%), but also increases GU2+ toxicity

Rad onc = #1 for professional fulfillment 🙌🏽
1 in 3 academic physicians report they are considering leaving their institution within 2 years. Burnout and lack of professional fulfillment were associated with intention to leave; a comprehensive approach will be needed to reduce physician turnover.

What are the cognitive outcomes for glioma w/ modern focal RT? · Prospective Study F/U up to 11 years! · Stable w/some improvement · Despite more aggressive tumors outcomes comparable to Watchful-Waiting cohort https://t.co/KlrpfZUH8i

More is better for SRS? Another (retrospective) study showing fractionated SRS results in better local control compared to single-fraction SRS, this time in pre-op setting (p=0.009 on matched analysis). Nice work by Drs. Roshan Prabhu and @stuxrt
