Comparison of toxicity w 3D v IMRT in RAPIDO: IMRT worse. Table summarizes studies of 3D v IMRT in rectal ca – w RAPIDO, data mixed. Caveat that RAPIDO didn’t require OAR delineation/ specify constraints, but good reminder that advanced tech doesn’t guarantee better outcomes.

Interesting article navigating unrealistic expectations, clinical trials on terminal patients, and QOL. It's usually "easier" to keep going rather to stop and have difficult and honest conversations, supporting our patients at the end of life.
