Mashup Score: 3Is single fraction the future of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)? A critical appraisal of the current literature - 2 year(s) ago
For several years, radiotherapy (RT) has increasingly evolved towards hypofractionation, on the basis of both radiobiological rationale and the technical possibility of safely delivering higher doses per fraction. Hypofractionation has added advantages in terms of patient convenience and faster patient turnover in RT departments. Moderate or severe hypofractionation, including stereotactic body…

Mashup Score: 0Comparing Pre-Operative Versus Post-Operative Single and Multi-Fraction Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Patients with Resectable Brain Metastases - 2 year(s) ago
Brain metastases are a cause of substantial morbidity and mortality for cancer patients. Whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) plus surgery is a historical standard that has been shown to improve overall survival (OS) and local control for patients with brain metastases [1]. Adjuvant WBRT after surgical resection of a brain metastasis, compared to surgery alone, has been shown to reduce the risk…

If you’re not pre-opping your resection-indicated brain mets, it’s time to start reconsidering! Great work by one of our outstanding residents, Dr Haley Perlow & @joshuapalmermd in assembling this data #srs #brainmets #StopLMD https://t.co/KwckSDJHrZ

Mashup Score: 4SYSTEMS-2: A randomised phase II study of radiotherapy dose escalation for pain control in malignant pleural mesothelioma - 3 year(s) ago
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare, aggressive cancer with a dismal prognosis. [1] As there are no curative options, management focuses on palliation. Pain is the most common symptom [2,3]. It is typically dull and diffuse and worsens throughout the course of the disease [4]. Aetiology is multifactorial, often including neuropathic and bone related components which can be difficult to…

Mashup Score: 4Time management: Improving the timing of post-prostatectomy radiotherapy, clinical trials, and knowledge translation - 4 year(s) ago
Management of prostate cancer after surgery is controversial. Past studies on adjuvant radiotherapy (aRT) for higher-risk features have had conflicting results. Through the collaborative conversations of the global radiation oncology Twitter-based journal club (#RadOnc #JC), we explored this complex topic to share recent advances, better understand what the global radiation oncology community…

Mashup Score: 0Fractional exhaled nitric oxide as a potential biomarker for radiation pneumonitis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer: A pilot study - 4 year(s) ago
High-dose radiation therapy (HDRT) is the main treatment for patients with localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are ineligible for surgery [1,2]. One of the most serious side effects of HDRT is radiation pneumonitis (RP), which is characterized by inflammatory damage to the irradiated lung parenchyma and can lead to severe respiratory distress or even death [3]. The incidence of RP…

Peds world can use exhaled nitric oxide to Dx asthma... and apparently can predict radiation pneumonitis as well ⬇️ https://t.co/ZtsfcFvdF5 I wonder whether this could detect (or trend) pneumonitis from checkpoint inhibitors in oncology? (H/t my sister-in-law @loribanka !)

Mashup Score: 0
On 11th March 2020, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak a pandemic with over 118,000 cases and more than 4000 deaths. The virus has found a foothold on every continent except for Antarctica. Exponential growth in those figures is sadly expected.

Mashup Score: 2Nodal recurrence patterns on PET/CT after RTOG-based nodal radiotherapy for prostate cancer - 5 year(s) ago
The presence of lymph node metastases is an important independent negative prognostic factor in prostate cancer [1,2]. Over 30-40% of patients with high risk prostate cancer show lymph node metastasis at staging with pelvic lymph node dissection. [3]
