When I was a young piano student I had the privilege of being on stage with him, turning the pages for the pianist during a recital. He then invited me to go to dinner with him and we spent the night talking about art and music. One of the most amazing nights of my life…

The great Hungarian cellist Janos Starker b 100 years ago today! Master cellist and musician, a dry wit and a warm heart; always practical, but also idealistic. A wonderful man!

Today, we remember the courage of those who landed on the beaches of Normandy 80 years ago to defend freedom and defeat tyranny.
America deserves a president as good and steadfast as our nation, a president of character, driven by a noble purpose, one who honors the sacrifices of our troops. Not a man consumed by spite, revenge, and self-pity.

As an aside this is the first cohort done with FFPE, opening the door to many more retrospective cohorts and also making translation easier… 8/8

We’re pretty excited about this finding - for patients who will receive radiation, GARD has a stronger statistical effect than HPV status did when it first came out - we think calculating GARD should be considered in staging! 7/n

Now what if we if we found two optimal dose cut points and randomized patients to a trial of de-escalation? (In the spirit of HN005). Well - we find that if you stratify your randomization by genomic ‘group’ you can achieve equipoise with dose de-escalation! 6/n

We then asked how GARD (which is predictive of radiation effect) compared to other prognostic models, and, even alone, it outperformed them. Then - if we ADD the genomic information to our know clinical variables we recover a far superior model! 5/n

Asking first the most ‘standard question’ for a biomarker - which if you recall, GARD has an extra dimension compared to - cutting at the median GARD, do we see differences? Yes. 4/n

It was a pretty heterogenous cohort of HPV OPSCC patients so we separated all those that got radiation. Then focused on the one who got what we considered standard dosing (orange dots). As usual - we observe a large spread in GARD relative to dose. 3/n

After we saw a beautiful analysis of the Big Data 2 Decide project that included a dataset with affy metrix, outcomes, and details on XRT, we got really excited and contacted our now co-authors to collaborate. Genomics played a role - would GARD?

I have also been off Twitter now X for quite sometime but both Jake and I are really excited about this new GARD analysis #GARD #RSI

Been off Twitter a while, but would love to share the next paper in the GARD story with the world. #clecliniccancer #RadOnc #personalizedmedicine

Historic photo of two brilliant musicians when they were young and embarking on their luminous careers - maestro Claudio Abbado and pianist Martha Argerich. The partnership resulted in a 2005 Grammy award for Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 2 and No. 3. #piano #conductor #music
