Congratulations to Dr. Yao Hao yao for his grant award from NIH - $1.98M over 2 yrs - w/ Tianyu Zhao, PhD, MBA & Sarah Patch, PhD "Thermoacoustic Range Verification During Delivery of a Clinical Plan by a Synchrocyclotron: transition from research prototype to turnkey clinical device"

We were honored to have Heng Li, PhD as our S. Lee Kling #ProtonTherapy Center Visiting Professor today Siteman Cancer Center. Great tech & innovation overview of Johns Hopkins Proton Therapy Center. #MedPhys #radonc

Simulation free radiotherapy (SF-RT) is an emerging treatment paradigm for patients requiring palliative radiotherapy. In this matched cohort study, SF-RT improved time to plan generation compared to CT-simulated radiotherapy. Joshua Schiff @WashURadOnc bit.ly/3Tr7ZVU

We are excited to welcome Dr. Surbhi Grover as our esteemed speaker for the Todd Wasserman Memorial Lectureship in #radonc. Dr. Grover helps address the global cancer burden thru public health endeavors & cost-effective clinical initiatives in developing countries, esp Botswana.

Visited Uganda Cancer Institute with Drs. Gay and Sun. Truly strong team work sponsored by McDonnell International Scholars Academy and with the support of the leadership of @WashURadOnc takes UCI from 2D to VMAT in 3 years.

Stephanie M. Perkins, MD, accomplished expert in pediatric & #ProtonTherapy radiation, has been named the S. Lee Kling Endowed Chair in Radiation Oncology at The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish. Article here: bit.ly/3QS2rps Siteman Cancer Center BJC HealthCare

GOOD NEWS UGANDA: We have launched VMAT treatment modality(high end treatment) with experts from Washington University & Baylor College of Medicine. This will greatly improve the turn around time & reduce referrals abroad. #FightCancerUg #CancerIsCurable

Another milestone achieved by the collaboration between ⁦@WashURadOnc⁩ and ⁦Uganda Cancer Institute⁩ with the support from ⁦McDonnell International Scholars Academy⁩ youtu.be/xe8D_w8tdXI

New treatment modality (VMAT) starts at UCI. No need for referrals abroad. #GoUWorks Government Citizen Interaction Centre Government of Uganda Ministry of Health- Uganda youtu.be/xe8D_w8tdXI?si…

Congratulations to the UCI as they embark upon a new generation of cancer care with support from @WashURadOnc faculty

Mevion's Dr. Lionel Bouchet recently sat down with Dr. Stephanie Perkins, Director of the S. Lee Kling Proton Therapy Center, and Chief of the Pediatric Radiotherapy Service at Test Account to discuss the proton therapy program at Siteman Cancer Center: hubs.la/Q020W3lT0

Addressing journalists this morning, Dr Jackson Orem and a team of clinicians unveil new treatment modalities on the newly installed true beam linear accelerators. The machines started operations today with each able to treat 90patients a day. #FightCancerUg

Tomorrow on UCI CME virtual lecture series: Dr. Kavuma Awusi, the Principal Medical Physicist will be discussing the use of AI in Radiotherapy. Don't Miss!!! #FightCancerUg #SeptemberGold

No surprise this article clinched the top spot as the most cited paper in IJROBP - The Red Journal of 2022🥇! It's both highly educational and a joy to read. 🤓📖 I strongly recommend everyone, especially trainees, in the #RadOnc community to give it a go! UTSW Radiation Oncology

First patient treated on our adaptive proton trial today❗ Thank you to this patient and Drs. Zhang, Liu, Zhao, Kim, Perkins and the rest of the adaptive radiation team @WashURadOnc for making this happen! Siteman Cancer Center #adaptiveRT #radonc

I have started a new position as the Vice Chair of Medical Physics, Radiation Oncology, at Tampa General Hospital. I look forward to working with everyone to build a cohesive team dedicated to patient care and committed to education and innovation for the future of radiotherapy.
