PLATO ACT 4 results for dose de-escalation in early-stage anal cancer are out! Prof Sebag-Montefiore presents on the plenary stage at #ESTRO24 3-year locoregional failure 16.4% for standard dose IMRT vs 12.4% reduced dose IMRT Reduced dose IMRT is safe & effective! #radonc

#ASCO25: In LA gallbladder CA, adding CRT to neoadjuvant chemo doubled OS (21.8 vs 10.1 mo, p=0.006) & ↑ R0 resection rates (52% vs 30%) vs chemo alone in Phase III trial (N=124). First RCT evidence favoring NACRT in this tough-to-treat disease #radonc 🔗 meetings.asco.org/abstracts-pres…

Dr. Nina Niu Sanford I’m having trouble enrolling to oligomet trials myself. When i discuss it with patients and offer randomization to aggressively targeting Oligometastatic disease versus doing nothing, patients tend to ask if we could take the aggressive approach outside of the trial. Even if the

Such a well deserved standing ovation for Chris Booth and the Challenge trial. These data are quite powerful. Much stronger evidence than what we saw in plenaries today. #ASCO25

🚨ESOPEC, Patterns of Recurrence🚨 🔥DM is the predominant pattern of recurrence and a large driver of mortality (~30-50%) ⚠️Locoregional Recurrence Remains notable (~20%) 🧐 Wonder about combined (Chemo + CRT) 🧨 to build on D-FLOT or FLOT, ❓ with organ preservation #ASCO25

Paolo Tarantino This is NOT true as the major driving risk factor for lymphedema is NOT nodal radiation it is Axillary surgery. As clinicians we need to be aware of lymphedema data first and second the shortcomings of B51 while counseling the patients.

Before you see the patient, you spent time and looked up. You know where he lives and who he lives with. Then don't ask "Where do you live?" or "Who do you live with?" Say, "I saw you live 30min away" or "I saw you live alone". 1/

Luna, a 9-year-old Husky, was paraplegic from a spinal tumor. After receiving SRT (20.01 Gy in 3 fx), she responded well and can walk again. Although Luna is still receiving chemo, she continues to do well. Learn more about RT for pet cancer ➡️ bit.ly/46oIlIt 🐾
