Look! Look! 😲😱 That’s my cross-stitch on the front page of @IJROBP! I’m SO grateful to @sueyom & team for picking my depiction of a lung SABR plan for the special issue on oligometastatic disease #radonc #medphys @Mat_Guc @SalmaJabbour1

Also, just in case you’re interested, I’ll be talking about dose accumulation for #reirradiation today at 12:45 in room 154 with some great colleagues 😊 (Did I match my dress to my slides? No comments)

Still here!! Still want to say hello! I’ve dressed up in my most colourful dress today, so you have absolutely no way of missing me 😂 #ASTRO25 #radonc #medphys
I’m at #ASTRO25! And it feels like I don’t know a soul, so please do come up to say hi if you spot me - it’s kind of a weird feeling 😉 (Rare X check in from me, since it seems like the North American #radonc community are still holding out here?)

TORPedO had extensive RTQA, and careful RT protocols for both arms, including optimisation of swallowing function related OARs. I’ve got great confidence that the TORPedO IMRT plans & delivery represent truly optimised state-of-the-art photon treatment #radonc

Personally, I note that: 🔹The US trial saw significant insurance approval issues and large proportion of cross over 🔹Enrolment started over a decade ago, when IMRT optimisation & OARs were very different from today 🔹The fnding of OS benefit was very unexpected

Main learning point from first full day at #ASTRO25: I never thought I’d say this, but us Europeans need to up our coffee game!☕️ #radonc #coffeechallenge (To be fair, it was a very sweet concoction which no European barista would be caught dead serving 😂)

🚨 Primary results for the phase III trial of Toxicity Reduction using Proton Beam Therapy for Oropharyngeal Cancer (TORPEdO; CRUK/18/010) Endpoint: G3 weight loss, G-tube dependence OR 2.8 (0.8-10.4) for IMPT! Protons are likely worse in this setting #ASTRO2025

AAPM, here I come! Only my 2nd time ever, and 7 years since I last went 😳 Have acquired a few more grey hair & wrinkles in the meantime, but still excited to hear what’s happening on the other side of the pond. And please all reach out if you want to meet up! #medphys

My inaugural lecture as Professor of Clinical Medical Physics @Rigshospitalet @DTUtweet will be on the 6th Oct at 3pm in Auditorium 1, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen It would be lovely to see a lot of familiar faces, for the lecture and for the reception afterwards #medphys #radonc

☢️🚨 Everything you wanted to know about reirradiation (and maybe even more) — now out in @CACancerJournal! A massive effort led by @arnaud_beddok & @NAndratschke, powered by an international all-star team 🌍 Grateful to everyone who contributed! 🙌 #RadOnc @OncoAlert
Reirradiation (reRT) is reshaping cancer care—offering hope for recurrent tumors w/ advanced precision techniques like IMRT & SBRT. Multidisciplinary care, imaging, and innovation are key. New #OpenAccess review by Andratschke et al: https://t.co/T41ik4rEsa

Oh well, that didn’t quite go to plan … Got 9 hours of solid sleep and a shower, but now stuck in Cologne waiting for a replacement bus. At least I’ve got good company! #ESTRO25
My feet are shattered by too much walking in heels, and I'm functioning on about 15 hours of sleep over the last five days. So now hanging out in a cool little cafe, trying to keep awake before boarding the night train to Brussels🚆 See you all in Stockholm next year #ESTRO25

This was also my very first conference with my partner attending - and we even had a joint study to present 😊
How do patients prioritise different aspects of non-operative rectal cancer treatment? We conducted a prospective, multicentre study alongside a clinical trial; asking rectal cancer patients undergoing definitive RT to help us understand treatment preferences #ESTRO25 #RadOnc

I gave a total of 5 talks, attended & chaired numerous meetings, made it to too few of the scientific talks (🙏 online recordings!), and saw so many friends and colleagues that I have lost count a long time ago. I even managed to meet a few new people (@NiuSanford!) #ESTRO25

I got to catch up with my partner in crime (i.e. all things #reirradiation) @elivaos, who gave a brilliant - as always - talk on image registration for reRT dose accumulation today #radonc #medphys #ESTRO25

We got to present our innovative #reirradiation treatment planning solution, developed in close collaboration with RaySearch - and we saw the near-final implementation in RayStation. I can't believe that this may soon be available for clinical treatments! https://t.co/xmGvsofK67
Things that make me happy: Seeing an RT planning & evaluation solution for #reirradiation that I’ve helped develop in its (nearly) final version. Amazing work by the RaySearch team and my @CRUKRadnetLeeds colleagues. Probably highlight of #ESTRO25 so far for me 😍
