US gov / DOE is posting about radiopharmaceuticals and alpha therapy! @freddyeescorcia #radonc
MONUMENTAL BREAKTHROUGH at a former Manhattan Project site: Scientists discovered a way to extract the powerful cancer-fighting isotope Thorium-229 from nuclear material — enabling alpha therapy that DESTROYS tumors while sparing healthy cells. 🙌🏻
Very grateful to present at @NRGonc today with Dr. Sara Hardy of @uwradonc as study co-chairs of the new NRG-CC017 multicenter RCT examining Temporally Modulated Pulsed Radiation Therapy (#TMPRT) for #GBM led by national PI Dr. Jiayi Huang of @SitemanCenter! #RadOnc #NRG2025

Our newest CAPRI trial, called PREVENT, is a phase II/III RCT testing high dose palliative RT for NSCLC to dose of 35/5, with esophageal sparing. 🇨🇦 We hope this will improve survival and QOL. Congrats @goodmanC_MD for getting this off the ground! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Thrilled to activate PREVENT! This phase II/III RCT builds on the success of @DrAlexLouie's PROACTIVE trial by randomizing patients requiring palliative thoracic RT 2:1 to high-dose esophageal-sparing vs. traditional palliation to a max dose of 30 Gy in 10 equivalent

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…
Excited to share our experience (largest so far) using Boswellia for radiation necrosis with brain mets. ORR 60%, median duration 14 months. Amazing responses and a game changer for patients, I highly recommend you check it out!!! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39993542/ redjournal.org/article/S0360-…
🧵 ABR Oral Board Exam Update On Monday, July 14, @ABR_Radiology leadership met with stakeholders from the @ASTRO_org community to discuss the oral board exam process. It was a productive and collaborative session. #RadOnc 1/5

Remarkable response to Boswellia after necrosis due to high dose brain SRS. In case you didn’t know I am a strong advocate for Boswellia we should all be using this!!! advancesradonc.org/article/S2452-…

I learned this week that SABR-COMET patient #1 recently passed away, more than 12 years after enrollment, with no recurrence since his original SABR. We initially treated him for a left adrenal met. It’s an interesting story… ⬇️⬇️⬇️
#radonc sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Thanks to Dr. Chhabra, and team for spearheading this important discussion. And thanks to the usual suspects that speak up for the health of the field and young doctors. @DrChowdharyMD, @CShahMD, @JamesBatesMD
