Honored to recognize Daphne Haas-Kogan, MD, MBA, FASTRO, FACR as this year’s Janeway Medal recipient! As a leader in pediatric & brain tumor research, mentor, and advocate for advancing women in medicine, her impact is profound.

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

Excited to share our summary of metabolic cell death pathways relevant for cancer therapy. @NatureRevCancer #endcancer

⚡️ BREAKTHROUGH OR JUST BARELY THERE? #METIS Ph. 3 RCT presented at #ASTRO25 Plenary earlier this week (Tumor Treating Fields, TTF, after SRS for #lungcancer brain mets) revealed TTF significantly delayed intracranial progression ✅ But when you dig into the results - especially the study appendix - the story isn’t so simple 👇 Just finished reading the full METIS manuscript appendix (PMID: 41033612) published in @IJROBP First, HUGE thank you and congrats to the authors on completing this landmark study 👏 📌 Quick refresher on study design/results • Phase III, 298 pts • Open-label, randomized 1:1 • TTF SRS ⚡ vs SRS alone 🎯 • Primary endpoint = Time to Intracranial Progression (TTIP) ⏱ • Median follow-up = 8.6 mo • ✅️ TTF significantly delayed TTIP (HR 0.72, p=0.044) → ~28% ↓ risk of intracranial progression • Side effect profile favorable, mostly grade 1–2 Sounds encouraging, right? Well… let’s look closer 👀 🧩 What exactly was TTIP? A composite of 4 components: 1️⃣ Local progression 2️⃣ Clinical worsening 3️⃣ Neurologic death 4️⃣ Distant progression 📑 Now, here is the catch (Figure S3 in the appendix): 👉 NONE of the 4 components were individually significant ❌ Local progression NS ❌ (HR 0.82, p=0.44) Clinical worsening NS ❌ (HR 1.04, p=0.96) Neurologic death NS ❌ (HR 1.02, p=0.69) Distant progression NS ❌ (HR 0.76, p=0.17) ⚠️ The “win” came only from combining 4 components, none of which were statistically significant on their own. 🧐 But how about secondary endpoints? There is some good news there, right? Well… not quite 😬 OS 💀 = negative Cognition 🧠 = negative QoL 📉 = negative So the entire “positive” signal rests on the composite itself, leaving open the question of whether this reflects true clinical benefit for patients... 🙌 Final thoughts: I’m glad we now have another potential option for #lungcancer brain metastases🌟 Huge respect to the METIS investigators 👏 - pulling off such a massive Phase 3 trial in this space is an enormous achievement 💪 But with no OS benefit and TTIP met only by pooling 4 non-significant components and right at the 0.05 threshold, one may wonder if this intervention actually translates into meaningful patient benefit, or if the signal is more statistical than clinical... Curious what others think ⬇️ And regardless - credit where it’s due 🙏: this is still an important new treatment tool, and pulling off METIS was a milestone worth celebrating 👏🌍⚡ #radonc #TTF #Optune #Novocure
