We had an amazing visit with Dr. Jyoti Mayadev who came to @UMichRadOnc as our Wineman Visiting Professor. Honored to have her spend time with us and teach us the latest insights on cervical cancer! Glad for you to visit the heart of Wolverine nation. @UCSDRadMed #goblue

Highlighting a paper from @UMichRadOnc physicist @DaleWLitzenberg describing a potential mechanism for the FLASH effect dubbed the ‘Hoover effect’ where oxygen is ‘sucked’ out from the cell nucleus like a vacuum causing hypoxia. You heard it here first!

@UMichRadOnc hosted the inaugural Felix Feng Visiting Professorship to honor the legacy and career of a brilliant scientist and physician. His roots still run very deep and we could not have asked for a better guest speaker than @DrPaulNguyen to pay tribute. @UMRogelCancer

Serendipity brought me to Ann Arbor today for a graduate student thesis defense—just in time for the inaugural Felix Feng Memorial Lecture by Paul Nguyen.
Felix was a brilliant scientist, visionary clinician, and extraordinary mentor, but more than that he was a dear friend. I feel incredibly fortunate to have learned from him and walked a small part of my career alongside him.
His impact on our field—and on those of us lucky enough to know him—will continue to ripple forward. Grateful to celebrate his legacy today. @UMichRadOnc @UMRogelCancer

Bone mets fractionation is evolving in the state of Michigan! Fewer fractions with MROQC @MichiganCQIs quality measures and incentives, including prior auth exemption.
Grateful for the opportunity to share with the @Advances_ASTRO audience.
How do state-wide quality measures impact #radonc fractionation selection for 🦴 metastases?
Within the Michigan Radiation Oncology Quality Consortium, quality measures were implemented in 2020 and 2022 to promote use of single fx (SFRT) and <=5 fx treatments for pts w/ 🦴 mets. From 2018-2024, 3247 pts in 29 centers were treated w/ 4382 (non-SBRT)☢️ plans:
🔘Use of SFRT 🔼 from 17.8% ➡️ 38.8%
🔘Use of <=5 fx tx 🔼 from 44.2% ➡️ 63.9%
🔘Use of shorter regimens was assoc w/ later yr of tx, 🔼 distance to tx facility, 🔼 baseline fatigue, 🔽 yr of physician practice

Hot off the presses, ReCOG consensus statement endorsed by multiple Rad Onc societies now in @TheLancetOncol. Major step forward for advancing reirradiation. Congrats to authors, in particular @DrKCParadis, @ChuckMayoPhD, @elizapowerpuff.

Radiation therapy isn’t just for cancer. Low-dose radiation is showing promise for certain non-cancer conditions.
@UMichRadOnc's Dr. Borislav Hristov explains who may benefit.
