@chirpedbicetre.medsky.social has just published a paper on combining surgery and brachytherapy for bladder-prostate rhabdomyosarcoma.
This technique used for 30 years till now, benefits to many children all over the world.

a lot of people think you need a lot of money to buy clothes. now you're right. ok. my bad.
Functional outcomes after primary vs delayed robot-assisted radical prostatectomy following active surveillance
academic.oup.com/jncics/advan...
Suggest active surveillance doesntt have significant detrimental effect on functional outcomes, supportin for men w/low & favorable intermediate-risk PCa
This article evaluates the overall survival (OS) and local recurrence (LR) in patients with grade 2 #meningiomas treated with adjuvant #radiotherapy compared to surgery alone at time of diagnosis.

Check out this comprehensive and timely review in @lancet.bsky.social by our RadOnc group @PennMedicine.bsky.social on #radiotherapy related toxicities and the latest approaches to mitigate them. Congrats to @YiannisVerginadis.bsky.social who led this effort. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Exciting news! Our Red Journal invited editorial on sim-free RT is now available! @ijrobp.bsky.social @drdavidpalma.bsky.social

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity.
A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

How does #prostatecancer recur after radiotherapy?
Alisha Pati-Alam, Susan Heavey and the team at UCL highlight this key question in their commentary of an important new meta-analysis on salvage therapies.

Stereotactic Radiation Therapy for Localized Prostate Cancer: 10-Year Outcomes From Three Prospective Trials out on the RedJournal
www.redjournal.org/article/S036...
Overall, SABR provides durable disease control for localized prostate cancer with manageable risks.
Spectacular results! Consolidation #radiotherapy for gallbladder cancer improves survival and maintains quality of life.
Congratulations to the study team.
Pts were excluded “if after radical prostatectomy they were considered by the investigator to be a candidate for salvage radiation therapy”. Hard to extrapolate omission from this dif pop… Want +MFS/OS w/PORT: S8794. What’s the cost of enza and would men rather yrs ADT or 5wk RT (w/o ADT for many).
PEACE-1 published
Radiotherapy of the prostate in metastatic pts prevents serious GU complications, in pts with low and high tumor burden
How to select patients?
- all ?
- based on live expectancy ?
- response to systemic Tx ?
- prostate volume ?

Post showing precipitous decline of share of deaths in Massachusetts from diseases for which vaccines are now available, from 70% in 1840 to low digits % by 1950-60 where it is stayed. Caption: There are not many places on earth where we have detailed cause-of-death data from before the era of widespread vaccination. Massachusetts is one of those places. From 1842-1877, 70% of all deaths were from diseases which we today have vaccines to prevent.
Anyone who is anti-vax is pro-death. Period. The science and data do not lie. And they don’t care about your podcast.
We “require “ MRI , TP systematic and target biopsy and PSMA correlation. Don’t always get all 3!
Hey #brachy #prostatecancer and #radonc. I’m interested to hear about what people are doing for prostate salvage #brachy? Focal or whole gland and what doses. We have done a few and I am writing a department protocol so any wise words ?
Calmly updating our protocols when this is published #radonc
Who do I offer hormones to now ?
www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Overall fairly low risk group of participants, but helpful information to consider when counseling patients. Will be interesting to see what stratification will occur in the PSMA PET era.
Direct link to paper: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Nice to see the outcomes
Given other Radical publications - do we offer hormones to none or to the nasty ( and how to define ). ?
Searched and found on Netflix. Amazing documentary.
Nice one. Thanks. Good to slowly find more and more Radonc.
Could you add me please #radonc based in #Christchurch New Zealand
Paediatric and adult Radonc and #brachytherapy.
