👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 agree! it’s time to retire the “toxicity” moniker #radonc. We are stuck in the past!!!! @sueyom @NehaVapiwala
It is beautiful to see a fellow Penn alumn use the word "Safety" in the title of a #radonc publication. Kudos to Dr. Yeboa and colleagues for sending a positive message about stereotactic radiation therapy! @sueyom @NehaVapiwala pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40531511/
