Guidelines for early-stage breast cancer allow for radiation therapy (RT) omission after breast conserving surgery among older women, though high utilization of RT persists. This study explored surgeon referral and the effect of a productivity-based bonus metric for radiation oncologists in an academic institution with centralized quality assurance review.

Simulation free radiotherapy (SF-RT) is an emerging treatment paradigm for patients requiring palliative radiotherapy. In this matched cohort study, SF-RT improved time to plan generation compared to CT-simulated radiotherapy. @JoshuaSchiffMD @WashURadOnc https://t.co/1LLjXBvaPn https://t.co/CB5pAsj7Cd

Mashup Score: 3Factors Affecting Isocenter Displacement and Planning Target Volume Margin for Patients With Rectal Cancer Receiving Radiation Therapy - 1 year(s) ago
Setup errors are inherent in the process of daily radiation therapy (RT) delivery. Pelvic RT for rectal cancer is one of the body sites associated with the largest shift among other body sites. This study aimed to evaluate interfraction random and systematic errors and hence propose the optimum planning target volume (PTV) in patients with rectal cancer.

New in #advancesRO: In rectal cancer radiotherapy treatment, prone position and BMI >30 kg/m2 warrant higher PTV margins of 1.2 cm and 1.4 cm respectively if daily IGRT is not used. However, 0.7 cm is enough if daily IGRT is used for such cases. #RadOnc https://t.co/wNHVMbTa23 https://t.co/1Zuyo5dylR

Preoperative radiation therapy (RT) for pancreatic adenocarcinoma reduces positive surgical margin rates, and when delivered to an ablative dose range it may improve local control and overall survival for patients with unresectable disease. Use of stereotactic body RT to achieve a higher biologically effective dose has been limited by toxicity to adjacent radiosensitive structures, but this can…

Mashup Score: 14Gender Differences in the Research Productivity of Radiation Oncology Resident Graduates in the United States: 2015 to 2019 - 1 year(s) ago
It is well-documented that gender disparities exist in academic radiation oncology departments. The purpose of this study was to analyze gender differences in research productivity during residency among recent graduates of radiation oncology training programs in the United States (US).

Before #WomensHistoryMonth ends, take a look at our work showing gender disparities in research productivity amongst radiation oncology residents, which disproportionately impact women’s careers. Let’s work to close this gap with support & mentorship! https://t.co/SjReNEzbsd https://t.co/kCdLYSnFFU

🚨@Oncoalert: 50% of pts with #pcsm CHANGED their IPSS score after oncology nurses explained the ?s to them. "Clinicians should never disqualify a pt from receiving #prostatecancer tx due to a high IPSS w/o reviewing the IPSS questionnaire with the pt." https://t.co/54GWpqXFuG https://t.co/Az0TkqqtTq
