SBRT in Oligometastatic CRPC: ☢️Adding SBRT to ADT+Enza doubled rPFS and delayed time to next therapy. OS data immature but signals lower risk of death. Minimal toxicity. ☢️Should SBRT become standard in oligometastatic CRPC? ASCO OncoAlert #GU25 #cancer #oncology

🚨 New Editorial Alert! We challenge the current guidelines: Why excluding the prepontine cistern from WVI in germ cell tumors might be a risky shortcut. Check out our thoughts in the latest issue of IJROBP. #RadOnc IJROBP - The Red Journal Alper Kahvecioglu MD authors.elsevier.com/c/1kwuV_8CJj2N…

In this new Editorial IJROBP - The Red Journal, we discuss the COG Atlas for germ cell tumors and support the recommendation by Alper Kahvecioglu MD and Melek Tugce Yilmaz MD to include the prepontine cistern in the whole ventricular volume. Shannon M MacDonald redjournal.org/article/S0360-… ASTRO
