It’s #radonc away rotation season! For #medstudents and junior #residents, here are my go-to resources in radiation oncology (1/2).

Do you suffer from TOXICITY Labeling Syndrome? Try these daily exercises to break the habit. Repeat after me: Treatments can have “side effects” There can be “complications” We use an “AE” grading system to report them

A picture worth 1000 words - and then some - to patients w/ #kidneycancer eligible for noninvasive local therapy. 👏 @_ShankarSiva & team for the diligence & discipline to get here. @ESTRO_RT @Uroweb @ASTRO_org @AmericanCancer @UroOnc @AmerUrological @ASCO

Inspired to see ASTRO President @NehaVapiwala and @LoebStacy leading the following webinar on June 8. The webinar is FREE to all ASTRO members and offers CME credits. academy.astro.org/content/co…

High-yield discussion on all things “AI”impacting radiation oncology. Breadth of perspectives from key stakeholders, including industry, FDA & NCI, underscoring the importance of various @ASTRO_org initiatives already underway & new projects to come. RadOnc has a long track record of embracing innovation & harnessing technological advances to improve patient care. Together w/ @aapmHQ @ESTRO_RT & others, we’re in a critical window to help shape & drive this rapidly evolving era of AI. Thanks to efforts like this, we can!

@TylerSbrt breaks down #radiotherapy of primary in patients w/ metastatic hormone sensitive #prostatecancer @APCCC_Lugano. Check your biases, follow the data & don’t withhold prostate RT in pts with PSMA PET-only mets!

The international networking efforts across LATAM also includes ALAMO, representing a powerful group of women in radonc (MD and physics) ready to stand on each others’ shoulders to build an unstoppable workforce capable of delivering the highest quality SRS and SBRT everywhere. cc @CBaffic asociacionalamo.org/

Looking for a medical school with soul? Then look no further than @PennMedicine which in this video is giving Harvard med a run for the money! youtu.be/ZjX_f3DfDt4?si=9rBu…

Those days when you’re 🧐 the future of #medicine & #science, I hope these brilliant, talented students committed to the profession inspire you. Medicine & music 🎶 are both powerful healers - but sick dance moves never hurt 🙌🏽💃🏽 🕺🏽 @PennMedicine @PennMDForum

PSOM understood the assignment 🎤😂 When med students link up with @NehaVapiwala and drop a parody video… you know it’s going to be 🔥 Brilliant, hilarious, and way too talented for just medicine 👏 #PSOM #MedStudentLife #PennRadOnc PSOM ON THE BEAT! | Penn Med Music Video 2026 "WHERE IS MY HUSBAND", "Bo... youtu.be/ZjX_f3DfDt4?si=yJHn… via @YouTube

#radonc is once again among the most competitive specialties, and ranks among some of the most competitive surgical subspecialties.

That feeling when you’re talking to someone who just gets it, who makes the brilliant seem simple, who asks the right questions & then proceeds to get us the answers. That’s what this was for me. @VedangMurthy, you’re a class act. 👏 @TataMemorial @APCCC_Lugano @AROI_Since1976

Different paths, shared purpose - #radonc physicians & physicists expanding access to #cancer care, education & emerging technologies across continents. Service-oriented leadership ➡️ real impact @PennMedicine @HuqedOnPhysics @WilNgwa @iaeaorg @bslotman @TamerRefaatMD

The time has come for radiation oncologists to take ownership of messaging the amazing treatments we deliver as no one else is going to do it to help our patients understand what we have to offer. Not just in LATAM but everywhere in the world! #radonc

Chilling with Steve Avery at the foothills of the Andes Mountains in Santiago. He is a true ray of hope and a principal founder of the Global Health Initiative that is changing lives in one continent after another by optimizing access to the highest quality radiation therapy available in the world. globalhealthcatalyst.org/pro…

On the road with the CEO of ASTRO, Dr. Vivek Kavadi, in Santiago, Chile having lunch at the “President’s Table”. With national radiation oncology society presidents from Ecuador, Chile, Dominican Republic, Paraguay, Costa Rica, Mexico, Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and Bolivia. 🌎

I’ve known @EvanThomas84 for approximately 15 years, and I will share that he is no ordinary #radonc. He earned three engineering degrees before his medical degree, and is one of the most curious and caring people I have ever met. I am proud to say he and I have been mentoring each other throughout our friendship, and I can’t think of anyone who has taught me more about innovative approaches to medical care than him. As much as he and I care deeply about people with cancer, we also care about all people who are suffering. That is why he has been pioneering the use of high-energy medical x-rays to treat benign diseases for over a decade, first at @UABradonc and then at @OhioStateRadOnc. It doesn’t take much for a #radonc to adapt their prescriptions to treat benign disease as Dr. Thomas is doing; it just takes will, common sense, and an open mindset to remember we have a very safe, highly advanced, multi-million-dollar linac in our offices that can help those in need. At the end of the day, all #radoncs are physicians with an extraordinary opportunity to improve the QOL of our patients and help them live the best lives they can in the face of debilitating malignant and benign diseases. Whether we leverage our technology to help them is a decision each of us has to make for ourselves. @SameerKeoleMD @NehaVapiwala @jmmrad @sueyom @BarbaraJereczek @Mat_Guc

I am thrilled to announce that Renaissance Institute completed the initial phase of its first course of LDRT for an #Alzheimers patient today. The patient began the treatment course with a MOCA of 15, complete anosmia & ageusia, and A&Ox1. By the end of Renaissance-modified treatment fractionation, the patient had recovered their sense of taste, was A&Ox4, able to remember my staff’s names, and MOCA improved to 19. We look forward to opening this new & innovative fractionation scheme in the upcoming LDRT-MIND trial. #radonc #neurology #dementia

@ASTRO_org is grateful to all who have shared their situation & continues to seek member feedback @ our dedicated Payer Support and Resolution Center resource page. 🙏🏽 astro.org/advocacy/payer-res…
