Great to see this out- congrats Yaacov Lawrence Md, Laura Dawson et al. Retroperitoneal pain due to tumor celiac plexus involvement can be debilitating & narcotic refractory 25 Gy x 1 improving pain in 53% is remarkable! RCT of RT v celiac block hopefully forthcoming NRG Oncology🤞1/3

Words cannot describe how profoundly sad I am to share the news of Dr. Shekinah Elmore's death this week. Shekinah was a SPECTACULAR human with profound wisdom, an incredible generosity of spirit, & a heart of kindness that lifted us all up. gofundme.com/f/honoring-dr-…

GI oncology friends - ever wish in tumor board there were data indicating that Y-90 may not be the best treatment for arterially hypoperfused tumors in primary hepatic malignancies? Makes sense - mean Y-90 energy penetration is 2.5 mm. Take a look! #SBRT frontiersin.org/journals/oncol…

“Radiotherapy is used in 50% of cancer patients, but only 5% of funding goes towards radiotherapy research”. A challenge around the world. Congrats Anthony Chalmers 💙.

Big congrats to Laura Dawson & team for completing this symptom-based, palliative radiotherapy RCT! 8Gy x 1 ~whole liver RT improves pain in 67% Agree that all patients fitting study criteria should be offered this simple, convenient, safe & cost-effective treatment.

Presented at #ESMO24: Among patients with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer, overall and progression-free survival were significantly longer with durvalumab adjuvant therapy added to standard concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Full ADRIATIC trial results: nej.md/4d0eZ5m
