Many US brachytherapists report using general, conscious sedation or epidural anesthesia, yet 10% are using only oral & 22% offered anesthesia only during applicator placement. A majority believe PTSD can occur, but few offer any intervention. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

GI oncology friends - ever wish in tumor board there were data indicating that Y-90 may not be the best treatment for arterially hypoperfused tumors in primary hepatic malignancies? Makes sense - mean Y-90 energy penetration is 2.5 mm. Take a look! #SBRT frontiersin.org/journals/oncol…

One of our #medphys residents Sharbacha Edward, PhD has just received a Travel Award from Siteman Cancer Center to present her #brachytherapy research. Congratulations Dr. Edward!

Disrespect doesn’t just make people feel bad. It leads them to perform worse. Evidence from medical teams: Even a single insult decreases the quality of diagnoses and procedures. Rudeness disrupts focus and undermines collaboration. Civility is not optional. It’s vital.

This #WeWhoCurie Day, we want to highlight our #brachytherapy team! This fun group is all about serious #radonc science. Thanks for all you do for our Siteman Cancer Center patients. American Association of Physicists in Medicine MRV AAPM

Sharing this powerful patient story about the WashU Medicine team who gave this young girl a chance to live life to the fullest. Dr. Stephanie Perkins, director of the S. Lee Kling #protontherapy Center Siteman Cancer Center led the team. bit.ly/4eFW3K9

An incredible story about a patient who got an unexpected diagnosis for his age. Recognizing the urgency to reach younger people, in 2021 Siteman Cancer Center established the Young-Onset Colorectal Cancer Prog. Hyun Kim leads this effort & patient studies. bit.ly/4i35Ay0
