1/ We previously (doi.org/10.1002/mp.149…) decribed the *trailing effect* caused by the stacking of two rounded-leaf end MLCs (aka, the Halcyon from @VarianMedSys). We have now identified clinical plans which exhibit the effect: doi.org/10.1002/mp.158…. Some details below:
Here is a new and very interesting interview of Edward Witten, one of the greatest living theoretical physicists, by Brian Greene, discussing String theory, cosmology, nature of consciousness, etc. Highly recommended. Link: youtu.be/sAbP0magTVY?si…
Bombshell: Oliver Sacks (a humane man & a fine essayist) made up many of the details in his famous case studies, deluding neuroscientists, psychologists, & general readers for decades. The man who mistook his wife for a hat? The autistic twins who generated multi-digit prime…
When the Japanese decide to master something, whether it’s cars, cameras, animation, knives, or yes, whiskey and craft cheese - they will perfect it into its final Platonic form. How do they do it? Obsession with kaizen (continuous improvement). And they will apply themselves…
No culture is safe from nerds in Japan. Any song your people have or dish they make. Japanese autism will seize it and do it ten times better than your ancestors could’ve ever imagined.
Whoever hasn't seen this documentary is missing out on what was possibly the greatest mathematical event of the 20th century...
Andrew Wiles on the morning he discovered how to fix his proof of Fermat's Last Theorem
‼️ I love 🇮🇹 and recognize the effort here, but ORR 17.5% v 10% and mPFS 3.5 months v 2.8 months are a very nice example of statistical significance & clinical insignificance +21 days mPFS here = Precision Oncology is marketing more than anything else. Can we finally admit it?
🇮🇹 The ROME trial marks a milestone for Italy’s precision oncology platform: 6 years of dedication, 40 centers, 1,794 patients sequenced. A national effort to bring genomics to the heart of cancer care. @myESMO @IEOufficiale @LaStatale
Protons are worse for prostates, worse for H&N recurrence, side effects, higher cost, much less accessible Payors need to stop paying for this
A new study has found that phone-free students performed better academically. But its findings will not end the argument over phones in schools economist.com/united-states/…
They never should have drawn any conclusions about the lung V5 based upon a tiny retrospective analysis of 13 patients that did not even show statistical significance correlating the V5 with anything.
Our Delphi consensus-based approach included 83 thoracic radiation oncologists in at least one survey to create consensus-based OAR dose constraint and target goal templates for lung cancer radiation therapy. What do you think? What comes next? Link here: practicalradonc.org/article/S1879-……
Our very own @PattyDiezH was awarded honorary membership of @RCRadiologists for her contribution to #RTQA and #clinicaltrials over the last 2 decades. Congratulations!!! #radonc #medphys
New in the #RedJournal: Is the IROC H&N credentialing phantom an effective surrogate for different anatomical sites? @freettabrooks, @MalloryCGlenn, @JulieLarkin305, @DrRebeccaHowel1, @CatharineHClark, @MDAndersonNews tinyurl.com/brooksrj
Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.
👏🏽Take a bow 🙇🏼 @drjefstathiou Very clear results - no superiority of protons over photons for prostate cancer. Interesting - no benefit of spacer. We asked the Q, you gave us the answer! No protons for #prostatecancer Not cost-effective #ASTRO24 @ASTRO_org @IJROBP @ESTRO_RT
There's one thing of which we can be confident, there is no number of negative proton trials for PCa that will dampen the enthusiasm of proton centers to aggressively market to patients.
49 - Risk of Radiation Myelitis after Hypofractionated Spine SBRT Amazing work, @Chris_JacksonMD! Any insight on 0.35-1.2cc? This data looks ideal to explore whether 18 Gy to 0.35 cc or 12.3-13 Gy to 1.2 cc (TG-101) are meaningful! @JAMRadOnc @NicholasZaorsky #ASTRO24 #radonc
15 fx protons for PMRT is also a dud 50/25, RBE 1.1 vs 40.05/15 RBE 1.1 proton PMRT Primary endpoint: 2-year complication rate, non-inferiority, 10% NI margin Results: one-sided 95% CI 18.5 👎 Why use protons at all in this setting? I don’t get it 🤷♂️ #ASTRO24
🚨 “HenRIetta” Phase 2 Breast and RNI w/ 42.56 Gy in 16 daily fractions Primary endpoint: rate of lymphedema at 3 years Hypofrac was NOT non-inferior (7% NI margin) for lymphedema!! #ASTRO24 Authors conclusions: spin
ASTRO abstracts are no longer embargoed after 5PM EST 9/27. Here is LBA1: PARTIQoL, Phase III study of protons vs IMRT for LR/IR prostate cancer. No significant differences in tumor control or patient-reported quality of life out to 60 months of follow up. #radonc
On this day 30 years ago, Andrew Wiles, stunned the mathematical world by presenting his proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.
Lucky to have seen first hand the tremendous work of this #radonc team. Thank you @MeritxellMolla for taking the time to show us your busy facility and share ideas. I’m still so jealous of your busy orthovoltage skin cancer service, your patients are very fortunate!
