We have become very aggressive in bacterial decolonization to help mitigate oral mucositis in head and neck radiotherapy. It is impossible to say whether both interventions at once are better than either one on their own, but anecdotally I have been pleased. They are essentially

In our NEURO-ARC study we found that sometimes #radonc residents learn better from a PDF than from a video lecture. We're now updating all modules to include PDFs, so people can follow along or read it separately. Come join us at https://t.co/6NhnSx4E4p!

✨ ASTRO 2025 Reflections ✨ This year’s ASTRO was one of the best I can remember. Enormous credit goes to @SameerKeoleMD for his vision and leadership, it truly came to life in an inspiring way. One theme stood out above all: the surging interest in functional radiotherapy.

A major cheat code in life: Being easy to work with. Listening more than you speak. Being kind when others aren’t. Helping others succeed. Celebrating others’ wins. Showing up early, not just on time. People value those who make their lives easier.

Since I was a #RadiationOncology resident, have always been "struggling" with consistency in target delineation for #postoperativeradiotherapy in #HeadNeckCancer such that I find my volumes "changing" over time! Kudos to @PierluigiBonomo @sueyom and team at @ESTRO_RT to work on

Repetitive negative thinking is associated with cognitive decline. Stay positive.

Great paper on unilateral vs. bilateral TORS for tonsillar SCC, featured in @QuadShotNews Contralateral tonsillar primaries: <2%. Post-op bleeding rate: 7% unilateral vs. 15% bilateral G-tube rate at last follow-up: 8% Peri-op MDADI scores: fell from high 80's to mid 70's.

Excited to share our experience (largest so far) using Boswellia for radiation necrosis with brain mets. ORR 60%, median duration 14 months. Amazing responses and a game changer for patients, I highly recommend you check it out!!! https://t.co/CukIqntmR3 https://t.co/zRPGLtLyL4

Happy to introduce something different from classical curative or palliative radiotherapy: Strategic radiotherapy: a new proof of concept https://t.co/yKBl60clsW @ESTRO_RT @SapienzaRoma

👀Not cancer but promising concept/result. As we expand the indication of #radiotherapy this could be an area of active interest. @SameerKeoleMD @ASTRO_org https://t.co/8KvZKF73MT

👏 I saw an interesting anecdote and just looked up the reference. Literally before I was born, an oncologist very succinctly and elegantly summarized how we offer hope to our patients living with cancer... these words are still true today! https://t.co/675vFEWgTY

The global natural background radiation ranges from 1 to >10 mSv/year depending on location.

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.
