Ci vediamo a Palmi per la presentazione del libro di @ScaltritiLab. Un libro (che consiglio) scritto da un vero " insider" della ricerca in #Oncologia traslazionale.
A very interesting and enjoyable article to read on @NatRevClinOncol (doi.org/10.1038/s41571…) which takes stock of the complex mechanisms of interaction between the microbiota and radiotherapy #radonc. It may seem strange and counter-intuitive, but 1 Gy of radiotherapy targeting…
"If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present. Our life has no end in just the way in which our visual field has no limits." (Tractatus 6.4311), Wittgenstein
Interesting case report published in the latest issue of @TheLancetOncol (DOI : 10.1016/S1470-2045(25)00073-7) This is a patient with dural implants from stage M1b #Prostate Carcinoma already treated with ADT+Bicalutamide and normofractionated radiotherapy on pelvic bone lesions…

A very interesting review by @Icro_Meattini et. al published in @JAMAOnc about the possible implementation of a biomarker decision-based radiotherapy for breast cancer patients. I particularly appreciated the part where the authors highlight a disproportionate focus on studies…
A synoptic overview of the differences among three trials that have redefined axillary management in #breastcancer patients with clinically negative axillary lymph node metastases. As a #radonc I am not fully satisfied with how these studies address the technical aspects related…
This reflection by Andrea Camilleri captures the essence of human #transformation—the moment when #life, without warning, reveals itself as different from how you remembered it. It is a thought that strikes deep chords: sometimes, it is the small gestures, the almost…
