#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


"All treatments are 'tolerable' ...if you don't ask people who they feel." Dr Dawn Hershman getting #ASCO25's highest honor, the @asco David Karnofsky Science of Oncology Award for fostering a new world of patient-centered research and care.


Dr Steven H. Lin of MD Anderson Cancer Center making a case for all-radiation-is-not-same-radiation in the context of organ preservation in oesophageal cancer and a brief look at where we are headed in this space #ASCO25.


Dr Reena Engineer from TMC Radiation Oncology presents results from Ph3 randomised POLCA-GB trial for LA Gall Bladder Ca #ASCO25 Addition of NACRT to NACT shows ✅Better response to Neoadjuvant Rx ✅Higher R0 resection rates ✅Higher EFS (4.9 Vs 10.6 mos) ✅Higher OS (10.1 Vs 21.8 mos)


Honored to share highlights of Reena Engineer’s presentation of POLCAGB phase III trial at #ASCO2025, a game changer for locally advanced gallbladder cancer Neoadj CRT vs CT alone: 🌟 Nearly doubled mOS (21.8 vs 10.1 months) 🌟 Significantly improved R0 resection (51.6% vs 29.7%)




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.
