Per @MDRoeland: not great data for effect of steroids on efficacy of immunotherapy. Important to have discussion with colleagues. Brief course of steroids may be okay for palliation of symptoms. #SuppOnc19

It’s great as new faculty here UC San Diego Rad Med to be a part of developing our program for the treatment of refractory VT. It’s especially awesome to have stellar EP colleagues including Gordon Ho. ASTRO American Association of Physicists in Medicine #cardiacsabr

Some early experience from a UK SABR in non-invasive cardiac ablation of VT. Great collaboration has helped from @WashURadOnc and Drs Phillip Cuculich, MD + Cliff Robinson - keep up the great work! #EPeeps #radonc #UKSABR19

Cardiac radioablation is going mainstream at UC San Diego Rad Med. Today's Clinical Case Conference on SBRT for arrhythmias/VT was led by Michael Sherer, with the help of Drew Bruggeman, MD and Gordon Ho. #RadOnc ASTRO #MedPhys American Association of Physicists in Medicine

2010s THREAD Unusual for a Radiation Oncologist, I am also boarded in Internal Medicine. This year, my 10-year IM recertification was due. and inexplicably, I decided to go for it. Won't lie: not awesome to study IM if you haven't practiced in a decade. #medtwitter 1/n

Review of 59 publications w 5655 pts who underwent #SABR for #spinal metastases shows spinal SABR was assoc’d w 1 yr local control of 80-90% in de novo setting, >80% if post-op, >65% if re-irradiating. Vertebral compression Fx main risk (10-15%) ja.ma/2MPxRLv #RadOnc

No more 30 Gy in 10 for #myeloma. Now we have the data of > 1500 sites to prove that a dose of 20 Gy is enough making it safe to reirradiatte ASTRO ASH ARRO ILROG Team 伊藤佑愛 George Mikhaeel

Trying for the 1st time to tweet my research, so here it goes...*deep breath* Virtual #ASCO20 poster evaluating the cost-effectiveness of #SABR in oligometastatic cancer using SABR-COMET published data. TL;DR SABR very cost-effective under wide range of assumptions. UC San Diego Rad Med

Want to know more about our respiratory gating workflow for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia with cardiac radioablation? Join us at the #AAPMCOMP2020 Cardiac Imaging, Sparing, and Ablation Session on 7/14 at 2:00 EST. #MedPhys #RadOnc American Association of Physicists in Medicine ASTRO

Thank you AHAMeetings for the chance to discuss the UCSD approach to non-invasively treat refractory VT #AHA20. Couldn't have built our program initially without the help of Phillip Cuculich, MD and Cliff Robinson from WashU! Looking forward to the clinical trial. Todd Atwood Drew Bruggeman, MD

Non-invasive VT ablation is promising. Computational 12-lead ECG-based 3D mapping helps visualize electrical targets for planning. Still much to learn; lucky to have a great team and collaborative #radiatevt community! Todd Atwood Drew Bruggeman, MD Phillip Cuculich, MD Paul Zei UC San Diego Health

Hey #EPeeps and #RadOnc communities... we have some new data to share today about how **radiation can actually reprogram heart cells to make them act younger**. This is my first attempt at a Twitter thread 🧵 Please be kind...
