Full manuscript is now available in @JournalCancer - this is the largest series of SRS for sarcoma brain mets now showing excellent contemporary OS outcomes (~3 mons ⏭️ 11.2 mons), with histology/ECM and age as drivers of OS and LC respectively.
Excellent presentation @ACRORadOnc #ACRO2025 by @JohnRoubil on @IntRRF analysis on SRS for sarcoma brain metastases, showing favorable LC & OS. Leiomyosarcoma histologies and pts w/o progressive extracranial metastases had better OS

In the Summer of 2021 the WHO reclassified CNS malignancies, which would ultimately change how gliomas would be classified & treated. In this chapter & review I've attempted to summarize the use of RT in adult gliomas including re-RT, sys therapy, & 2025 guidelines on GBM re-RT.

Radiotherapy has been used to treat brain metastases for over 100 years. In my latest book chapter, I cover the history and use of radiotherapy for brain metastases and discuss prognosis, management, and radiotherapy treatment planning. https://t.co/Y0iafq2LAT

Just got a call to my mobile phone from someone claiming to be a DEA agent and stating a fraud case was associated with my medical license. A quick ChatGPT search of his phone number showed him linked to fraudulent activity impersonating DEA agents. I challenged him about this

1/🧵What do graduating #RadOnc residents think about their training? We analyzed 5 years of ARRO data (820 PGY5s; response rate ~87%) — the largest study to date. The good, the no-so-good, and the growing interest in competency based #MedEd @ARRO_org

Confused about D2cc in radiation planning? I certainly was. Is it a min or max? It’s often defined as the minimum dose to the hottest 2cc, but spiritually, isn’t it more of a maximum? It finally clicked when I thought of it like the snowcap on Mt Fuji. 1/3
