Out now in @JNCI_now (academic.oup.com/jnci/advance-a…)! @sloan_kettering H&N team’s work on Precision Radiotherapy for HPV+ HNSCC: **30Gy** for definitive treatment! Spear-headed by Nancy Lee & Eric Sherman, & and an all-star translational cast (JRF, SNP, TC, & more). #radonc #hncsm (1/N)

☢️Journal of Clinical Oncology: Of 152 analysable pts, 128 had nonhypoxic tumors & received 30Gy w chemo instead of SOC 70Gy. Hypoxia driven de-escalation to curative-intent CRT for HPV+ #hncsm oropharyngeal cancer found preserved efficacy & substantially reduced toxicity. ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.12…




Melvin LK CHUA | FRCR, PhD, FASCO Nadeem Riaz C. Jillian Tsai, MD, PhD Daniel Ma Regardless all phase 2 trials should lead to phase 3. Our FMISO 30 Gy work is leading to a phase 3 FDA registration trial, to be opened this summer.

Cannot wait to hear more details about this important trial. 4:45PM CDT! Percy Lee MD Puneeth Iyengar NRG Oncology Nadeem Riaz @JYangMDPhD Lawson Eng David Palma, MD, PhD


Mark Storey C. Jillian Tsai, MD, PhD Sana Karam, MD, PhD Sean McBride Nancy Lee I think two separate ideas are getting confused — 30gy definitive treatment using FMISO is not ready for routine practice and needs a phase 3 trial. Elective dosing with 30gy (when giving chemo) is a separate question and may be ready for prime time.

A very thoughtful opinion piece by Nancy Lee Memorial Sloan Kettering Radiation Oncology Lực Morris Max Diehn, MD/PhD outlining the caveats of using TTMV-HPV DNA as a routine biomarker for surveillance and treatment decision-making. Given the lack of robust sensitivity, such application should be carried out in


Our paper on a new approach to precision radiotherapy -- “Genotype-Directed Synthetic Cytotoxicity of ATR Inhibition with Radiotherapy” led by Victor Ng and Sonali Sinha is out in Clinical Cancer Research #radonc #radbio (1/N) aacrjournals.org/clincancerres/…

FMISO PET is often criticized for having low signal-to-noise. Great work from Rick Wray MD & Heiko Schoeder shows that training can increase inter-reader agreement from a kappa of 0.34 to 0.86! An important step to move FMISO from research to clinic. jnm.snmjournals.org/content/early/…

Interested in hearing about a dosimetric analysis of 1904 3-fraction spine SBRT cases at Memorial Sloan Kettering Radiation Oncology to identify a new cord constraint to minimize risk of radiation myelitis after spine SBRT? Come to my talk at ASTRO on Sunday! Dan Higginson


Are spinal metastases from certain types of cancers more sensitive or more resistant to spine SBRT? Come to the quick pitch talk at ASTRO to find out more! Dan Higginson Memorial Sloan Kettering Radiation Oncology


Drew Moghanaki NRG Oncology Sana Karam, MD, PhD Corinne Faivre-Finn Not surprised. I’ve been preaching this for years based on Javelin HN100 results. There is a subset that will have benefit from IO, including large HN fields and fractionated RT. Nadeem Riaz knows who. Look for his work.

Brandon Imber presented on how radiation as a bridging therapy is particularly good at cytoreducing disease and improving outcomes with CAR T infusion #ASTRO24


C. Jillian Tsai, MD, PhD Sue Yom NRG Oncology ASTRO Nancy Lee I think one the big takeaways from HN 005 is that we need better prognostic criteria for deintensification. Possible candidate markers- Hypoxia, radiographic ENE, circulating DNA?

Very happy to share our latest work on pulmonary carcinoids published in Journal of Clinical Oncology: TERT Expression and Clinical Outcome in Pulmonary Carcinoids ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JC… Thanks to all involved!
