📢 STORM trial breaking results at #ESTRO25! 🧪 MDT vs ENRT+MDT for nodal oligorecurrent PCa. 🧬 ENRT+MDT: ✅ Superior bRFS (57% vs 41%, p=0.014) ✅ Superior pelvic control (lrRFS 85% vs 62%, p=0.006) ✅ Superior MFS (76% vs 63%, p=0.06) ❌ No increase in ≥G2 GU/GI toxicity

@weeloonong leads pub in @EurUrolOncol for #PATRIOT (#SBRT weekly vs every other day treatment for favourable risk #prostatecancer ) No stat diff in bioc fail (mFU of 91mo) Planning to combine with @ZilliThomas #NOVALIS study (same design) free link👉tinyurl.com/yyhd69c2

excited that we are now offering prostate SABR at @BarwonHealth Andrew Love Cancer Center, benefiting men with prostate cancer in western regional Victoria! @VicGovDH @TargetingCancer

Delighted to share the results of #PACE B trial, published in @NEJM today 5 fraction SBRT is non inferior to CRT! nejm.org/media/doi/full… @alison_tree @ICR_CTSU @EmmaHall71 @royalmarsdenNHS @DrAndrewLoblaw @cpeedell @DrTolan @ProfJOSullivan @DrSuneil_PCa

In patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, extended lymphadenectomy did not improve disease-free or overall survival as compared with the standard procedure and was associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Full SWOG S1011 trial results: nej.md/4dBI8UN

After 4 years of the GÖTEBORG-2 trial, MRI-targeted biopsy led to less detection of clinically insignificant prostate cancer than systematic biopsy without compromising the detection of cancer that may affect survival. Read the full trial results: nej.md/4ewOjKT

🙏Thanks to mentoring by @AmarUKishan , stats support by Tahmineh Romero, and contributions by coauthors 🙏 Thanks to funding from RANZCR-TROG research grant @RANZCRcollege @TROGfightcancer 🙏Thanks to patients from multiple trials who contributed data for the analysis

Thomas Kennedy leads 10y prostate #SBRT outcomes from 3 different prospective studies now epub at #RedJ @IJROBP doi.org/10.1016/j.ijro… Great biochemical control to 15 years and only 1% chance of mets! Note 10% of UIR pts received ADT and none had whole pelvic RT (-> #PR24)

#PACE A published in European Urology! SBRT vs Radical prostatectomy. Spread the word #SBRT should be discussed with eligible patients ⁦@DrTolan⁩ @alison_tree⁩ ⁦@cpeedell⁩ @DrAndrewLoblaw⁩ ⁦@EmmaHall71⁩ @ProfJOSullivan⁩ authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S03…

Burnout & moral injury in medicine have affected so many health care workers. As a mid-career physician, here’s what I’ve learned to combat it - I hope others find it to be helpful. In Search of Joy and Meaning in Modern Medicine @JCOOP_ASCO ascopubs.org/doi/pdf/10.120…

Another major milestone for @AlfredHealth Radiation Oncology - now offering prostate SABR at our satellite site at Latrobe Regional Health @LRH_Hospital, making treatment more convenient for men with prostate cancer in regional Victoria! @MonashPCCC (photo with patient consent)

Team Aussie 🇦🇺 at #ReCOG. Definitely lots of collective work/ opportunities (eg reirradiation registry) to improve ReRT Down Under! @HardcastleNick @RANZCRCollege

Good to see RADICALS-HD in print. THanks to numerous colleagues and collaborators over 20 years authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S01…

Good catch-up and moderating @ISRSy #ISRSUSA2024 GU prostate SABR session with @DrCorreaRO, co-fellows @Sunnybrook @UofTDRO @DrAndrewLoblaw

Final anlyses of the @Sunnybrook GLIO study that proved tumour migration during fractionated rads for high grade glioma and now reporting prognostic relevance. Congrats to our prior fellow Dr. Wee Ong from 🇦🇺 and supervisor Dr. Myrehaug. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38561051/
