Great day with the Keck Medicine of USC radiation oncology residents. An impressive group of faculty with lots of tech on the way to offer the latest treatments. Thank you my good friends Eric Chang and Lijun Ma and of course the residents for selecting me for this honor

Congrats on another ISRSy guideline on the management of AVM that failed prior #radiosurgery and retreated pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38912814/. SRS can be a life saving treatment and why the ISRSy is dedicated to inform and promote safe practice with out guidelines isrsy.org/guidelines/

So proud after many years as the study chair of the CCTG SC29 randomized trial comparing 30-35Gy in 5 stereotactic body radiotherapy fractions to 20 Gy in 5 conventional fractions for painful non spine bone metastases is active. Thanks to the CCTG and study team.

#CCTG’s new study SC29 explores a new approach in #CancerTreatment. The study aims to determine whether Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (#SBRT) offers patients superior pain relief compared to Conventional Radiation Therapy (#CRT). #ClinicalTrials bit.ly/3XNwIZU

Excellent guidance for the management of atypical #meningioma as the disease is complex. Happy to provide my Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre ISRSy perspective to the the Radiosurgery Society as a collaborative effort to help these patients with a serious disease. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38970567/

Fantastic that our UNITED 1 Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre trial as a first in the world to perform weekly adaptive radiotherapy for glioblastoma with the Elekta Unity MR Linac has been accepted as a late breaking abstract for the 2024 ASTRO meeting. Congrats Jay Detsky MD and our CNS team.

Had a lovely breakfast with our Radiation Oncology residents and thank you to the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre staff who joined. We have to be mindful and take a step back and appreciate the hard work our residents do in caring for our patients.

Not only is Jay Detsky MD presenting ASTRO our first in the world weekly adaptive small margin #glioblastoma UNITED 1 trial, using the Elekta Unity 1.5T MR linac, but he was awarded the Steven Leibel Memorial Award too. Congrats Jay and the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre CNS and CAT team.

It was an incredible experience to visit my great friends Dr. Jeremy Reynolds at the Oxford spine unit, then spend a day at the historic Royal Marsden Hospital with Alison Tree 💙 and share the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre vision of adaptive radiotherapy.

Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre has led the way globally, thanks to the Stanisz imaging lab, in using chemical exchange saturation (CEST) and magnetric transferase (MT) MRI to distinguish radiation necroses from tumor. We continue our research and here are exciting results. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39220250/
