Sean Collins Prostate SBRT @ USF Health I wish all would stop giving the uPSA test. Since ARTISTIC it is unnecessary and is a huge source of anxiety in treated patients. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Always took time to wave or say hi to all of the little guys that proudly wore their Dawgs gear to PNC and headed down to the bullpen to see their guy! I have a feeling a lot of these kids will now be wearing Yankees jerseys! 😔 Thanks David Bednar #dawgsfamily #piratesareajoke

Does the addition of MDT to standard of care continuous ADT improve outcomes for oligomet prostate ca? Happy to share the results of EXTEND evaluating this question alongside PI Chad Tang, MD & many others

With its high specificity and its ability to detect huOX40+ activated T cells in vivo, ⁸⁹Zr-ivuxolimab is a promising immuno-PET tracer for imaging human T-cell activation. ow.ly/qKAp50WwqC1 #NuclearMedicine #Immunotherapy #Tcell

Congrats Michael Chuong & team! Between 5 fx MR-guided adaptive vs. 15/25 fx CT-guided RT (all ablative w BED ~100 Gy) in LAPC, results favored 5 fx (LC, late toxicity), but promising in both groups. NRG GI011 permits both regimens (w pref for 5 when feasible) – plz enroll 🙏!

Fascinating phase III trial of nasal mupirocin to reduce oral mucositis (OM) in patients receiving radiotherapy (almost all CRT) for NPC. Staph aureus growth on treatment has been implicated in oral mucositis, and we know that probiotics seem to be effective.
