RTOG 0815 now out in JCO. Dose-escalated RT for intermediate risk prostate cancer w/wo short-term ADT. Median follow-up 6.3 years. ADT reduced PSA failure, DM, PCSM, salvage therapy use. No OS benefit, but unlikely with ~6 years FU. #radonc #pcsm ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JC…

Nadeem Riaz Nancy Lee Sue Yom Sean McBride Many issues: 1. Neoadj IO- no proven benefit in definitive HPV+ OPC 2. Appears that many failed pts were eligible for ECOG3311 w/o adj RT at all. Why was failure rate so high? TORS approach different? 3. 25Gy/5 fx is not SBRT, but doesn't matter John De Almeida Scott Bratman

Why is it that people with malignant glioma's show cognitive decline? A new @nature paper shows that these tumors can grow by modifying brain circuitry, thus taking cognitive function away from their host and ultimately leading to death nature.com/articles/s4158…

Long-term outcomes from NRG CC001!! ➡️WBRT + meantime +\- HA ➡️Median Fu 12 mo 🗣Continued 👉Preservation of cognitive function 👉Prevention of neurologic symptoms 👉No difference in survival or toxicity #radonc #brainmetastases

Final Results CC001 Addition HA to WBRT+memantine · Prevented cognitive failure (HR 0.74,p=0.016) · Less symptom burden 6 & 12 mos · Less symptom interference 6 & 12 mos · Fewer cognitive symptoms overtime · NO diff OS, PFS, Toxicity redjournal.org/article/S0360-…

Congrats Steve! Strong work

Our latest meta-analysis on #chemoradiation in nasopharyngeal cancer out in The Lancet Oncology Huge collaborative work. ✅ 28 trials, 8.000+ pts, 7.6y FU ✅ more chemo (ind+conc or conc+adj) ➡️superior (OS/PFS) to CRT alone but more tox Free 50day link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1hAd45EIIgLp…
