Hot out of the adaptive research oven!! Huge congrats to one of our rock star residents, Beatriz Guevara for her awesome work in IJROBP - The Red Journal for direct-to-unit/sim-free RT in highly complex treatment settings. Clinical trial opening soon by Lauren Henke, MD, MSCI Michael Yan, MD MPH !! RadOncUH


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.
