The Costs of Cancer care - very interesting report from American Cancer Society. Total cost in 2020: $200.7B, annual increase 2.0%. Two "case stories" managed w. RT. RT cost 3% of breast case, and 15% of prostate case total Tx cost. 👉🏽fightcancer.org/sites/default/…

🚨#ASTRO20 As of Oct 15, UK has adopted FAST Forward for routine patient care, both whole breast and PBI. Elegant study zeroing in on the a/b. Memorial Sloan Kettering Radiation Oncology we continue to lower the age at which we routinely recommend this approach. #SlowlyButSurely (vs #ROAPM?)

I don't know if people realize how incredible a scholar Anthony Fauci is. He has an H-index of 221 (in medicine, >50 or above is highly accomplished, >100 is extraordinary, and >200 is stratospheric, achieved by <100 scholars in the world). His work has been cited 217,943 times.
