Diary of a Rad Onc Resident. Just came across this tongue-in-cheek 'typical' day in #radonc ! Made me actually laugh out loud! Found it on Reddit.

🚀 Excited to share our latest research! We developed GRITIC, a novel method for timing genomic gains using bulk WGS data. Our findings reveal non-parsimonious evolution and increased chromosomal instability post-genome doubling in tumors. aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscover… #cancergenomics

Hot off the press in IJROBP - The Red Journal: the ARREST phase I trial of SABR in poly-metastatic disease, led by Glenn Bauman, MD & Tim Nguyen Average number of lesions = 16 Dose safely escalated to 30 Gy in 5 fractions. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… The phase II/III RCT ARREST2 is underway!

Great to be home in #radonc. For first day back, we present 50Gy/1fx to bilateral L2, L3, L4 sensory nerve roots for intractable spasticity on the Varian sponsored SPASM trial Thanks to my rad onc & physics colleagues and exceptional team at OhioStateRadOnc for helping

Congrats Ethan Ludmir MD and Chad Tang, MD! This MD Anderson Cancer Center P2 randomized study shows PFS of 10.3 mo vs. 2.5 mo in #PancreasCancer pts with oligometastatic dz treated with metastasis-directed therapy+sys tx vs. sys tx alone. #radonc #endcancer ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JC…

Single fraction RT (8Gy) significantly improves hepatic pain compared with best supportive care and can be considered standard palliative treatment. No increase in toxicity. Laura Dawson CCTG thelancet.com/journals/lanon…
