Hello new and current graduate students! Today's phrase of the day is "unlearn your hyper-independence" Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. Grad school is hard, but not reaching out when you need help (many categories here) will make it impossible. Use your community.

Neil Newman, MD, a radiation oncologist UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson, is part of a national study using low-dose radiation to treat osteoarthritis. Unlike cancer treatment, this therapy uses lower doses to target pain directly at the joint. Neil Newman Learn more: bit.ly/47h55eD

Congratulations Laura Dawson Radiation Medicine Program Princess Margaret Cancer Centre University Health Network Radiation Oncology and colleagues across Canada for publishing CCTG HE1 in The Lancet Oncology establishing single fraction RT as an effective palliative treatment for painful liver cancer. CCTG thelancet.com/journals/lanon…

📣Single fraction palliative RT for painful liver cancer vs best supportive care #rct ➡️4/10 pain @ base ➡️liver Mets/#HCC ➡️ 67% vs 22% SS pain improv Mark Suchanof with RT 💪 ➡️no sig inc side effects ➡️3m survival 51% vs 33% ns Laura Dawson Radiation Medicine Program Cancer Research @UCC thelancet.com/journals/lanon…

Important take home message ➡️ two thirds of patients, REFRACTORY to standard tx, experienced pain relief from liver mets or HCC after just a SINGLE fraction. RT is non-invasive and with this regimen would typically only require 2 outpatient visits. thelancet.com/journals/lanon…

👏🏼huge congratulations to the study team. Whether from Mets or HCC single fraction 8 Gy can markedly improve pain response. Personally I have treated whole liver twice (innumerable HCC and innumerable neuroendocrine) but patients had massive QOL improvement

A huge *Thank You* also to all of the #radbio IJROBP - The Red Journal reviewers this past year who have managed to take time out of their imcredibly busy schedules & dedicated themselves to ever improving the quality of our papers (and yes, biology papers can be conplex & difficult to get

Great paper on the performance of HER2 molecular imaging for met. breast Cancer! Congrats to the team Elisabeth de Vries JNM The interlesional heterogeneity of HER2 expression is remarkable! E.g. one third of patients with a HER2-negative or -low metastasis biopsy
