With the new year, comes new insight. Is 25Gy/5# enough for prophylactic nodal RT in high-risk #ProstateCancer? Borrowed from rectal cancer protocols, it has never been validated for prostate SBRT—until now. The SHARP consortium offers insights.

Pelvic regional control with 25Gy in 5 fractions in SBRT for high risk prostate cancer: Pooled prospective outcomes from the SHARP consortium This study aimed to assess the efficacy of 25Gy/5-fraction prophylactic pelvic nodal irradiation in providing regional control during

Survey of 12 Asian countries (FARO) shows hypofractionated RT (HYPO-RT) is widely used for head & neck cancers, but logistical barriers limit accelerated (AFRT) & hyperfractionated (HFRT). Congrats, @SupriyaChopra for being part of this important study! tinyurl.com/2s3zk2ey

👨‍⚕️ Resident (Akshay Dinesan ): "Sir, how should we contour the bowel for WP-SBRT in #prostatecancer? Bowel bag or loops?" 🤔 Me (thinking back to ongoing trials): "Good question… there’s no clear consensus. Let’s look at the data!" Time to get to work...TMC Radiation Oncology

We have a position for a Clinical Research Fellowship in Uro Radiation Oncology at TMC Radiation Oncology Tata Memorial Hospital and ACTREC-TMC for a 6 to 12m starting 1st April 2025. Please let me know if any students post MD or DNB are interested. It should be quite productive. 😊

Adjuvant radiotherapy evaluated for high-risk #BladderCancer after cystectomy. Vedang Murthy Tata Memorial Hospital joins Leslie Ballas Cedars-Sinai presenting BART trial results, demonstrating adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy benefits for high-risk post-cystectomy bladder cancer patients.

Noisiest diwali ever. How complicit is Kolkata Police in this? I made 3 phone calls- 11am, midnight and 4.30am - and yet no action whatsoever!! Jui Biswas

Dear Kolkata Police, there was unfortunately no supervision in new alipore and extremely loud firecrackers continued well past midnight. Old citizens, sick citizens and pets had a difficult time. Why should this be allowed to happen despite your notification?
