My first clinical trial! While was just short of our hypothesis that early salvage ISRT after CAR-T can double CR rate from d30 to d90 PET, interesting subset and translative analyses forthcoming for when this could be great salvage option post-CAR-T (e.g. single site of PR)…

Would argue that lymphomas are one of the most important diseases to consider adaptive RT as they are exquisitely radiosensitive, often in difficult to target locations, and many have long term survival so even small decreases in dose to OARs are likely meaningful. Excited… 1/2
15 May 2025
Adaptive RT in lymphomas ➡️ better targeting w/ reduced margins, deceased dose to OARs, adaptation to shrinking tumors, shorter course treatments, & easier treatments of multi-targets/SIBs. Read @kakumar86 @UTSW_RadOnc et al's article in the #RedJournal: tinyurl.com/kumarrj

To share our @UTSW_RadOnc experience of >70 lymphomas showing that oART was necessary to maintain PTV coverage with smaller margins and that tumors shrank on average 25% during RT. Safer and shorter course treatment options will hopefully expand the use of RT in lymphomas⚡️🤞🏾 2/2
