#ASTRO24 Plenary: long awaited results of PARTIQoL, RCT of proton beam vs IMRT for low/int risk #prostatecancer 🚫 measurable differences between PBT and IMRT - excellent QoL regardless of modality Incredibly important study- let’s move on from PBT in prostate cancer

👏🏽Take a bow 🙇🏼 Dr. Jason Efstathiou Very clear results - no superiority of protons over photons for prostate cancer. Interesting - no benefit of spacer. We asked the Q, you gave us the answer! No protons for #prostatecancer Not cost-effective #ASTRO24 ASTRO IJROBP - The Red Journal ESTRO

The Vandy goalpost traveled almost 3 miles to get to the Cumberland River 🔥😳 From tearing it down to ending up in the river it only took Vanderbilt Football fans a little over an hour to get the job done 🤯

Trump’s campaign surrogates in recent hours: —Rally speaker called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” —Elon Musk said Trump’s economic plans will cause “hardship” for the middle class —Mike Johnson said there will be “no Obamacare” if Trump wins, ripping away health care
