After my first semester of medical school I was treated at @MDAndersonNews for brain cancer. And now, four years later, I’m thrilled to announce I’ll be returning to MD Anderson as a resident physician training to become a Radiation Oncologist! #Match2024

FT can persist in all aspects of BC survivorship, esp w/ late toxicities. We discuss how and share three demonstrative cases: Abby, Brianna, and Catherine. 🤩MDA PGY-2 @ThatDamDoc and @fumikochino @UTMDAnderson #bcsm #financialtoxicity #radonc

"It’s not just, 'Okay, we’re done treating your cancer. Go back into the world. Good luck.'"
How #survivorship #survonc has improved & what we still need to change in order to provide optimal care for everyone after cancer.

We just finished an incredible meeting with Dr. Robert Timmerman as part of rasident fellows grand round at @MDAndersonNews
Two minutes of pure inspiration that will stay with me for a lifetime.
He said: “If you think your job is to contour, you can easily be replaced by AI. Your real role is to see patients, think about patients, and solve patients’ problems. We have not even begun to reach the edge of what
radiation can do.”
Thank you @BobTimmermanMD

#radiation BED 10 is effective for multiply relapsed #myeloma. Please do not be heroic in rushing to treat MM patient with radiation and dry their marrow; they need it for the long road ahead with their improved survival.@myESMO @ASH_hematology @MDAndersonNews @ASTRO_org

That’s one small step for RT, one giant leap for patients.

Nice to see updated EASL guidelines for HCC now include RT!
1 small technicality: guidelines refer to photon SBRT or proton RT
Photons/protons are particle types, & SBRT refers to technique (high dose to tumor alone, precise setup..)
In HCC, protons also often given as SBRT.

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

Residents have no money and no time.
But they need to act upon a financial plan.
Use this checklist - this is all a plan really is. Organized tasks, based on accurate information.
As you’re able, do what you can. Don’t rush this!

The FDA approved the first cancer treatment that specifically targets the IDH Mutation in gliomas (the mutation I have) 🙏🏼

Doctors on the SAVE plan have no idea what to do.
Let’s change that.
