📢JOIN US next week at our #NSBM Webinar: "International Practice Patterns and clinical Target Volume Recommendations for SBRT for Non-Spine Bone Metastases" 🗓️ Thursday, July 21, 2022, 13:00 BST 🥼 Dr. Chia-Lin Tseng and Dr. @TimkWin 👉 REGISTER: bit.ly/3OcOgGH
Very interesting initiative. Would definitely be useful for application reviewers. Nice adaptation of a tool that has worked well in emergency medicine #ROECSG22
@roecsg UGME working group is developing a standardized letter of recommendation for #radonc #medstudent applicants to🔽 bias and ⬆️equity/diversity. Looking to build LOR 📨based on characteristics important to residency programs/stakeholders #ROECSG22

Thank you to @CDNCancerTrials, all my co investigators, @TROGfightcancer, @Sunnybrook, @UofTSpine, @UofTDRO and @TheLancetOncol as sc24 is out and shows 24Gy in 2 sbrt fractions is superior to conv radiation for selected painful spinal metastases
I hope this 2nd edition helps those practicing brain and spine radiosurgery and thank you to all authors and my friends and Co editors @Sunnybrook
Here is a rough guide bit.ly/32800VA that might help approaches for SBRT to non-spine bone metastases. Consensus BED <100Gy, and fractionation for complex lesion in weight-bearing bone. CTV expansion at extraosseous extension too... #radonc by Tim Nguyen & @SahgalArjun
ARREST-2 opened for accrual yesterday! This is a new randomized phase 2/3 trial for patients with >10 mets that hopes to challenge the current radiotherapy paradigm for patients with polymetastatic disease. Thanks to the whole team esp @drdavidpalma and @lhscradonc @LHSCCanada
Time for Session #2 at #ROECSG22 moderated by @SprakerMDPhD + @JillGunther - New Education Programs to Expand #radonc Skillsets What innovations are you excited to see implemented? #ROECSG22
Really excited for this one. Looking forward to enrolling patients asap. Great work leading this @Melissa_O_Neil
Very excited to open DART, an MRT-led RCT investigating a "sim-free" workflow using recent diagnostic CTs to plan simple palliative RT. Thanks to @drdavidpalma for mentoring and supporting this work!
Bravo @SondosZayedMD! Our #radonc resident-led research program for medical students (ORIoN) adapted to a virtual format in its 4th year due to COVID19. Program still beneficial to residents and students alike vs. historical in-person iterations. #ROECSG22
Nice talk by Dr. Thomas sharing updated framework for core competencies in #radonc residency training (Milestones 2.0). Great example of the importance of ongoing program evaluation and how it can inform meaningful improvements #ROECSG22 #radonc @roecsg
🥳Delighted to announce our all-⭐️ cast of Social Champions for today's @ROECSG Annual Symposium! Follow them for live updates, and use/search #ROECSG22 for the latest in #radonc #MedEd! 🙌 🕙 Countdown to action in T-minus 15 min!!
How many of those were invitations to submit articles or go to conferences that don’t have anything to do with oncology? For me it’s probably 80%
I cleaned my mailbox yesterday at 11 pm. It is 8:08 am and I already have 33 new emails on my work mailbox. Professional emailer life! Really!?!
Marginal failures after bone SBRT is a thing! This guideline may help target delineation bit.ly/3v85Kfl - 11 cases, 9 #radonc contours international effort 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇭🇦🇺🇰🇷🇳🇱. Suggest a 5mm-10mm intraosseous margin for microscopic disease. Extraosseous margin for cortex breach
Check out this resident driven initiative leveraging virtual platforms to improve the frequency and quality of staff-resident contour review. Credit @DrCorreaRO with the Idea and early efforts and @axarifin for leading manuscript prep
🆕Remote Contouring and Virtual Review during the COVID-19 Pandemic (RECOVR-COVID19): Results of a Quality Improvement Initiative for Virtual #Resident Training in #Radiation #Oncology by Andrew J. Arifin, Rohann J. M. Correa mdpi.com/1718-7729/28/4… #radonc #covid19 #residents
Despite isotropic margins are widely used in #radonc , there are many situations where this approach is suboptimal 👉 Interesting methodology for computing direction-dependent margins for the development of consensus contouring guidelines @SahgalArjun rdcu.be/ciUqb
ARREST is underway... pushing the metastatic SABR paradigm to new lengths! bmccancer.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Looking forward to collaborating and learning lots with @MattonenLab !
I'm very excited to have been awarded a London Regional Cancer Program (LRCP) Catalyst Grant alongside Drs. @TimkWin and @axarifin! Thank you to the LRCP and Cancer Research Laboratory Program (CRLP) for supporting our new project studying bone metastases!
