This amazing group and I are proud to present our work at #GI24 Pts with HCC have lots of options and ☢️ EBRT has many roles (ablative, bridge, palliative) But there are A LOT of ways to define/deliver EBRT, and no consensus on what “ablative” RT means…

BCLC 2025 update is live and introduces a new framework (CUSE) that aims to guide clinicians and patients through the many dilemmas encountered when making treatment decisions. Congrats to the @BCLC_group and thank you all, esp @ma5RN , for the opportunity to contribute!
The BCLC 2025 model for prognosis and treatment recommendation is available in press. https://t.co/xmSI9l6hoG In brief, it will be presented by @ma5RN with introduction of the CUSE concept https://t.co/eTbhfLufoL Major relevance for clinical decision making @hospitalclinic

More disappointing news in #HCC: Adjuvant pembrolizumab failed to beat surveillance in the global P3 #KEYNOTE-937 trial (NCT03867084). Merck disclosed the negative result quietly in an SEC filing. Not unexpected after #IMbrave050

Exciting to bring the tech to USA. I hope the lessons on proton are not repeated. Over 40,000 patients have been treated with carbon ion worldwide. Unclear what cancers this enhances your ability to treat. It is ok to bring new tech and do research with it and not claim it is
Today, Mayo Clinic opened the Duan Family Building, taking another step in our journey to introduce carbon ion therapy for patients in the Americas. This revolutionary treatment will enhance our ability to treat aggressive cancers. Learn more: https://t.co/D7ogyWURE2

AI creating malware, self-editing its code, and attempting to blackmail engineers all to keep from being shut down (in controlled simulations). Most sobering read about AI thus far: https://t.co/qeYluzhgLw

Models rewrite code to avoid being shut down. That’s why ‘alignment’ is a matter of such urgency.

🚨ESOPEC, Patterns of Recurrence🚨 🔥DM is the predominant pattern of recurrence and a large driver of mortality (~30-50%) ⚠️Locoregional Recurrence Remains notable (~20%) 🧐 Wonder about combined (Chemo + CRT) 🧨 to build on D-FLOT or FLOT, ❓ with organ preservation #ASCO25

@KrishanJethwa @NEJM Unknown now is FLOT+IO vs Checkmate-577 and more specifically not even just IO for non-pCR but what about CRT+IO for all vs FLOT+IO? How can we build upon SANO foundation for patients who don’t want surgery also?

We’ve been running a prospective study of low-dose RT for osteoarthritis, so several people have sent this article to me. Question for people doing this in the US: Are you billing 3D (as this study seems to do)? What organs need to be spared 50cGy/fx? https://t.co/1TJSvDRv2M

Great mid-week news on the publication front! Could it be that our GPC3-selective radiotheranostics agents aimed at #HCC could be repurposed for #NEPC? Fun collaboration with @sowalsky, @mishabeltran and Peter Nelson (@fredhutch)! Stay tuned! #radiopharmaceuticals
