Does survival still matter in oncology? In this “tribute” episode, we joined w/@vkprasadlab members: definitions, examples, solutions.. all you want to know about post-protocol care and how it can distort overall survival results! We missed you, Vinay, my friend @VPrasadMDMPH!

Would argue that lymphomas are one of the most important diseases to consider adaptive RT as they are exquisitely radiosensitive, often in difficult to target locations, and many have long term survival so even small decreases in dose to OARs are likely meaningful. Excited… 1/2
