Well deserved! Congratulations 🎉

Truly humbled to say the least. Deeply grateful for my mentors, especially @drbredel & @SWelfordLab. I remain hungry to give my all in uncovering pathways of hope for patients. @SylvesterCancer @umiamimedicine

After our daughter Ceci died at 15 mo of a paraspinal tumor, we’ve been committed to supporting pediatric cancer research. We’re honored this year's Cattle Baron’s Ball will establish Ceci’s Fund through the American Cancer Society. Please share/donate💕 https://t.co/oOL7q9pyLx

Once #radiology identifies the target, #radiation #oncology takes aim. Together, these specialties form a seamless, patient-centered approach. “We’ve moved from uncertainty to precision,” says Dr. Markus Bredel (@drbredel), chair of radiation oncology at Sylvester. “We

Deeply honored to receive the Best Poster Award from @ISRSy. My heartfelt thanks to my mentor and sponsor, @drbredel and @EvanThomas84, for their invaluable support. @SylvesterCancer @umiamimedicine

Is frameless, virtual cone, SRS-based thalamotomy safe and effective for refractory essential and Parkinsonian tremor? Yes. Our trial showed a 25% tremor ⬇️ at 4 mo and 50% at 1 yr, with a favorable safety profile. @drbredel @EvanThomas84 @ISRSy @SylvesterCancer @umiamimedicine

Strong @SylvesterCancer center presence at the International Stereotactic Radiosurgery conference at Geneva, Switzerland. Huge thanks to our visionary RadOnc Chair @drbredel for the sponsorship @ISRSy @umiamimedicine

Today’s educational session was ended with thought provoking case presentations and discussions

What are the technical considerations for spine SBRT? This topic was dissected by Dr. Max Dahele. Key points: use consensus target volume guideline, utilize cone beam CT before and in-between tx, and avoid excessive follow-up imaging that is too frequent. @ISRSy

Even Spasticity and Pain can be treated with SRS by targeting corresponding nerve plexus or spinal nerve. Lecture from Dr. Josh Yamada. @ISRSy

What about the use of radiosurgery for benign spinal conditions such as meningioma, schwannoma, neurofibroma, and hemangioma of the spine? Dr. Marcello Merchetti’s lecture provides evidence of SRS efficacy in these settings. @ISRSy

Can we use SBRT for spine metastases? Yes. Can SBRT be done in the post-op setting? Yes. Can you re-radiate? Yes. As a caution, minimize hot-spot to prevent plexopathy for spine metastases. Great lecture from Dr. Filippo Alongi. @ISRSy

What can be done to optimize/augment the effect of spine SBRT? Debulking surgery, fractionate if volume is large, and refer for cement placement if mechanical pain is present. Incredible lecture from Dr. Arjun Sahgal. @ISRSy

What does animal studies tell us about spinal cord and peripheral nerve radiation effect recovery? >60% recovery (Spinal cord = peripheral nerve). Lecture by Dr. Paul Medin @ISRSy

Can SRS be used to treat vestibular and jugular schwannoma? The answer is yes and it confers great response. Lecture from Dr. Selcuk Peker @ISRSy
