@sciqst @PTCOG_Official @SJFrankMD Feeding tube rate is significantly reduced, pts returns to work sooner with IMPT. I hope that it will change the NCCN guidelines.

Instead of removing the eye, proton therapy provides an orbit sparing approach for cure, clear vision, and good cosmesis (3Cs) for periorbital tumors @MDAndersonNews
The preciseness of proton therapy can limit the tumor-damaging energy to target areas and protect healthy structures. This helps limit side effects for patients like Michael Morin. Read his story: https://t.co/tddQcjrZwT

Congratulations to @MDAndersonNews and all the participating institutions for developing Level 1 evidence for proton therapy for oropharyngeal tumors @ACKoongMDPhD @PTCOG @ASTRO_org @PTCOGNA @naptprotons
“The results of this multi-center Phase III randomized trial provide evidence for intensity modulated proton therapy as a new standard-of-care treatment approach for the management of head and neck tumors,” says our @SJFrankMD of research presented at #ASCO24. (Abstract 6006)

@DavidSherMD @JamesBatesMD @ASCO I agree. Plus, we don’t know if the baseline nutrition and dysphasia rates were balanced between arms (this didn’t seem to be a requirement). @SJFrankMD
