Grateful to @MROQC1's efforts to deliver high quality radiation to michiganders! Bone met RT in 5 or fewer fractions: 📈 Is increasing & quality measure launch is independently associated. 🏥 Is good for system resources 🚙 Is patient-centered 🏞️ Is environmentally friendly
From #RedJournal: @MROQC1 shows substantial variation in intended ADT use across a statewide consortium for men w/ intermed. risk prostate cancer and show a lack of consensus w/ the benefits and harms of ADT in this patient population. @mdsquared44 bit.ly/reddess1
Wonderful farewell dinner for our graduating residents. Extremely bittersweet to see (most of) you fly the coop but you’ll always be part of the @UMichRadOnc family. It’s been such a joy to work with you all, but it’s time for you to show the world what you got! @MichRadOncRes
As a field, we've spent millions figuring out the role of ADT with RT for INT risk prostate cancer, but in this project we found that providers still lack consensus about ADT prescription in real world practice. Work in @IJROBP with @MROQC1 @SamReganMD @rtdess
Amazing experience to be part of the #YouthSummit at the Big House. So great to see the future leaders of healthcare! @UMichRadOnc @umichmedicine
Seriously though, a PHYSICS ⚛ CURRICULUM is finally here! @VarianMedSys & ARRO bring you this peer-reviewed resource, full of modules and ways to test yourself! Register ⬇now for access just in time for @ABR_Radiology physics boards on June 25! bit.ly/3wkV562
ORATOR2 primary analysis from @drdavidpalma @ESTRO_RT #ESTRO24 (60 Gy + cis if 7th ed N2 vs essentially 3311 treatment) - RT with improved OS (and PFS)!
So excited and grateful to be a part of this team and collaboration!
Very grateful for the opportunity to present at @btfoundation cancer health disparities conference! In collaboration with @CancerRayos, we showed that longitudinal lectures significantly improved contouring knowledge compared to written resources alone.

What I learned in 🇨🇱 today … $5mill = one #radiotherapy machine☢️, can treat 10k patients. $5mill = 135 patients worth of trastuzumab. 🧐 @TheLancetOncol - tinyurl.com/6bry9a2a “an essential pillar in multi-D oncology…an inexpensive modality” - 👏🏽 well said @TargetingCancer
This is what pains me about focal and the GU field and even organizations that standby silent: We learn to maximize benefit and minimize harm through carefully conducted controlled trials. 99% of these tx are done off trial. Most RCTs are negative bc we are wrong often even…
