Radiation oncologists are trained to deliver safe, high-precision radiotherapy as part of a #cancer care team. We follow the best available evidence & develop customized, cost-effective plans. Science guides our treatments, but humanity guides our practice. 1/2

We looked back at ~1000 patients with lung cancer and melanoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We found that those who happened to received COVID mRNA vaccines within 100 days of starting ICIs lived much longer than those who did not receive the vaccine.

1/🧵What do graduating #RadOnc residents think about their training?
We analyzed 5 years of ARRO data (820 PGY5s; response rate ~87%) — the largest study to date.
The good, the no-so-good, and the growing interest in competency based #MedEd @ARRO_org

With over 16 classification systems, osteoradionecrosis (ORN) has been a challenging RT-related toxicity to diagnose and manage. I’m excited to share the multidisciplinary ORAL Consortium’s consensus guidelines on standardized data capture to enhance interoperability & diagnosis!

Amazing talk by @KHoffmanMD @MDAndersonNews yesterday. An accomplished female leader in an often male field of GU #radonc she comes from an amazing legacy of women in medicine. Her aunt was one of the first female MDs in the country!

Omission reaches also systemic treatments for breast cancer:
EUROPA trial preliminary results with superb @Icro_Meattini presentation at #SABCS24 shows RT might be a better approach for women aged 70 with luminal A-like early breast cancer #radonc #bcsm

Congratulations to the Europa team for showing what we observe in #RadOnc clinic - a short course of RT is very well tolerated (QoL better than ET) and single modality may be appropriate for favorable risk patients. #SABC24

SUPREMO does not answer role of PMRT after SLNB without ALND.
- All N had ALND - does not address N patients s/p SLNB only.
- Per AMAROS, PMRT associated with reduced risk of lymphedema vs ALND.
So, PMRT still the treatment of choice post SLNB for int risk N pts?
#SABCS24
12 Dec 2024
Supremo trial 10 yr data PMRT vs not in N0, or 1-3 nodes showing no significant benefit to PMRT for any endpoint/CW benefit significant but small. Important context, all had axlnd. Will future include targeted ax radiation? Does this apply after SLNbx? #SABCS24

Important to engage in patient-centered decision making regarding ALND vs RT for these patients!
