🧵2/ Metastasis-directed Tx to the 🫁 has limited trial evidence (surgery or SABR). Whilst convenient, popular during #COVID19, there is reluctance for single fraction fraction 🥊 SABR for perceived toxicity. @TROGfightcancer SAFRON II randomised n=90 with 133 🫁 mets to 1 vs 4fx SABR

Dr Mercier late-breaking #ESTRO2023 - !!!BLINDED!!! RCT of #radiotherapy for painful bone Mets, ➡️single 8Gy 3DCRT versus SABR 20Gy. ⬆️ complete pain response 54% versus 33% at 3 months with SABR, but not 1 month. Higher rates of re-irradiation in conv RT arm. #radonc

Safety analysis of Northstar trial: Phase II Randomized Study of Osimertinib With or Without Local Consolidative Therapy (LCT) for Metastatic EGFR Mutant NSCLC 👉 excellent safety of surgery & radiotherapy 👉 RT numerically lower tox despite no interruption of Osi in most pts

Excluding people with disabilities from becoming doctors “reductionist thinking that does a disservice to our profession”. What an impressive and eye-opening session. #racma2022
Dr Dinesh Palipana, Doctors With Disability says "we need to think about the communities we serve. 1 in 5 people have a disability. If we are doing the same thing we always have we are not going to go forward." RACMA 2022 - Equity and Access, Healthcare For All #racma2022

Wow! Sublobar resection (including wedge) are equivalent to lobectomy for stage I lung cancer <2cm. No difference in DFS or OS and similar rates of recurrence. #WCLC22 Likely new standard of care!

Slowly getting there with regards to SRS for brain mets in patients with small cell lung cancer
Practice changing work led by @SunnyD_UT adding evidence to support SRS for small cell lung cancer brain mets. Congrats and thanks for building a great team and for @Sunnybrook to participate. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Delighted to share our systematic review of heart dose - More stringent IMRT❤️sparing planning objectives needed - Consensus on contouring and Dose Volume Constraints is lacking - Dose parameters reported for substructures vary substantially pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3557…

Great study @leunger22 - would be a game changer. Am assuming you wouldn’t be doing this with concurrent chemo à la PORTEC-3, so patient population might end up being different to those in your study? #gyncsm

Looking forward to this evening’s #TOGAsymp!
Great to see our presenters gearing up. It's the middle of the night for Dr Bob Li but he looks pretty sprightly #TOGAsymp
Excellent dosimetry made possible by #3Dprinted applicators - could they be in our future @sylviahanna18 @CarminiaLapuz @NikkiShelton003? @ONJCancerCentre #gyncsm #ThisisBrachytherapy #abg002
Fascinating talk by @petric_primoz discussing #MR pre-planning for optimal gyn #brachy implant and #3Dprinting applications - innovations session #ABG22. @ausbrachy #gyncsm @sylviahanna18 @adelinelim @sylvia_vandyk

Lung ART - no benefit in the use of PORT in patients with resected N2 disease. Would be interesting to see a subset analysis of those with ECE #lungcancer
Online first: phase 3 Lung ART trial - #postoperative #radiotherapy (#PORT) vs no PORT in patients with completely resected #NSCLC & proven mediastinal N2 involvement #lungcancer #lcsm thelancet.com/journals/lanon…
