AI is transforming medicine—but future physicians must be more than users. We must train doctors to be architects of its integration: leading with ethics, reasoning, and compassion. AI should augment, not replace, what makes medicine human.

While widespread rediscovery and adoption of LDRT in America has always been "the goal": Never, EVER, did I think I'd live to see the day that a mainstream medicine platform like Peter Attia would open a show discussing radbio and LNT. LNT!! 10/10 from Dr. Mehta, love it.

Proud to share this work out in Clinical Cancer Research wherein we validity the ability of PROSTOX to predict late GU toxicity following SBRT. This test, based on SNPs in microRNAs, shows a robust AUC for late grade 2 or greater toxicity.

Pleased to share our new article in ASTRO #PracticalRO We focus on scenarios where there is a paucity of data on use of PSMA in clinical decision making, and summarize our recs Great to collaborate with Alan Dal Pra, MD Vedang Murthy Sophia Kamran, MD! practicalradonc.org/article/S1879-…

This one began with a nagging doubt. 🧵 We’ve all seen the rising enthusiasm for adding Abi to RT + ADT for high-risk prostate cancer, driven by STAMPEDE trial. But in the PSMA-PET era, is this systemic intensification always necessary? nature nature.com/articles/s4139…
