New in @ASTRO_org #PracticalRO: This @the_RSS case-based guide provides a practical framework for delivering #SBRT for locally advanced #pancreaticcancer. #radonc #pancsm https://t.co/6iZdpwCkFw

🦺Congratulations to Dr @DhwaniParikhMD, the new @MSKCancerCenter #RadOnc Quality Assurance Chair, she has served as the VC for the past 3 years. Many thanks to outgoing Chair Dr @MarisaKollmeier for her years of service in this role.

📰Just published in @JournalCancer. Dr @sarahwmarion completed this research after the 2021 @MSKCancerCenter Summer Pipeline Program. This funded 8-wk program is offered to #URM med students interested in an oncology career. https://t.co/DmrPeBRqpf https://t.co/JObyRAnqV7

📜 In @LancetRH_Americ, led by rising 🌟 @StephanieWang04 of @Harvard, we draw attention to #family #financial #toxicity in the #US for people w #cancer 🙏 Drs @KaitlynLapen @KhushKohli @FumikoChino for insight and empathy 🔗 https://t.co/C8GOaMgHAX

⚡️☢️🧬New @IJROBP @NRGonc: This position paper focuses on the concept of relative biologic effect (RBE) in clinical #protontherapy, with the goal of providing recs for next gen clinical trials with protons on the best practice of investigating & using RBE. https://t.co/Nf7mpcfrPv

New in @IJGConline: Focal or substantial lymphovascular space invasion ⬆️risk of disease progression & death in early stage #endometrialcancer. Both had similar rates of progression-free survival, differing markedly from cases with no LVI. #gyncsm https://t.co/SpIurub04C

Beyond amazing first month at @MSKCancerCenter with the incomparable @imrtlee, superstar @MSK_RadOnc PGY3 Ross Weber, MVP APP Ying Wu, our great nursing team, the ever wise @xrtGenomics, and our international research team and observers @JanmenjoyMondal

New review of chromosomal instability in @NatureRevGenet: Beyond the generation of genomic copy number heterogeneity, recent work has unveiled additional tumour-promoting consequences of abnormal chromosome segregation. 🧬 https://t.co/ZUkJ10QuHa

Sometimes you need to go to a meeting to catch up with work colleagues. Enjoyed @NRGonc summer meeting in Denver with @LiorBraunstein and Dr Puneeth Iyengar.

Presented my concept for optimizing radiotherapy in young women with breast cancer @NRGonc. These pts are under-represented in current data, have higher recurrences, and are more sensitive to late effects. We need to clarify volume and fractionation options in a dedicated trial!

☢️🏙️Learn about the @MSKCancerCenter #RadOnc residency program in beautiful NYC from our Chief Residents 🍽️🍣🌆🚕🖼️💃🧑‍🍳🎭👨‍🎤🍕 📅Monday, August 19 ⏰8–9 pm ET Register: https://t.co/MOOpQMbZUU @MattMcMillanMD @HockemeyerKate @Elisa_Liu_ @Alex_Terry1 @SJRosenzweig @NikMankuzhy

Many US brachytherapists report using general, conscious sedation or epidural anesthesia, yet 10% are using only oral & 22% offered anesthesia only during applicator placement. A majority believe PTSD can occur, but few offer any intervention. https://t.co/A8O0KKa8bQ

Any role of up-front SRS in lung pts with brain Mets and EGFR or ALK targetable mutations who is receiving the 3th generation TKIs? JCO July 24, 2024 SRS improves time to CNS progression, particularly for lesion > 1 cm OS is similar MDT and personalized approach are crucial.

🧠⚡️🫁☢️New in @JCO_ASCO from @pike_lab @Chad_Rusthoven: The addition of up-front #radiation #SRS to CNS-penetrant #TKI ⬆️time-to-CNS progression & local control (but not OS) in pts with brain mets from #EGFR #ALK-driven #NSCLC #lungcancer. #lcsm #radonc https://t.co/0QcXj1cpQf

Congratulations to 2024 graduates of the MSK School of #RadiationTherapy, which has produced hundreds of radiation therapists over the past five decades. This program shows the dedication & expertise of the faculty & leaders in radiation oncology. More: https://t.co/4vEj5f06mx

🫀☢️New #CardioOnc for #breastcancer Dr @LiorBraunstein: VMAT for left-sided #bcsm RNI yielded no significant early decrement in echocardiographic parameters of cardiac function. No pt exhibited significant LVEF changes or sustained decrements in strain. https://t.co/R6mSTVv2J3

New in @PhiroTweets: Quantitative imaging metrics correlated with rapid volume loss during #radiotherapy for head & neck cancer #hncsm including high density/proliferation image markers. FDG #PET correlated with regression in uni/multivariate analysis. https://t.co/ku0lF6PvKB

"Working to address the social determinants of health & meet essential needs in clinic is a key step toward improving access & equity in health care; it also happens to be the morally right thing to do." Our @JACR issue on #SDoH #HRSR is now available: https://t.co/U1e8mROpDU

Proud of this effort initially led by Dr @EmelineAvikiMD & completed by Dr @BThomPhD to screen for #financialtoxicity & health-related social risks. We found pt receiving #radiation have ⬆️transportation insecurity & worse financial toxicity than others. https://t.co/LVIMAe7Otq
