New on TAP...

Our conversation with Robert Timmerman and Dr. Nina Niu Sanford concludes.

We talk proton and adaptive radiotherapy, beef and wine, and career advice from the #RadOnc master.

Plus, The Simul Parikh Lightning Round!

Really proud of our own Dr. Nina Niu Sanford who is providing novel insight into the management of rectal cancer.

Robert Timmerman is a 'triple threat' in #radonc - a teacher, a treater and a tinkerer.

A cattle farmer, husband and father of 4, not a Swiftie, but still an honest and decent man.

I hope you take the time to listen to this wide ranging discussion.

Thank you, Accelerators, for hosting a great pod episode featuring Robert Timmerman!

Topics discussed: radiation toxicity/risk tolerance, technologies & Wagyu beef.

Our conclusion is that rad onc needs 30+ more Bob Timmermans.

Just finished taping – stay tuned!

This is made possible by AI-guided diagnostics MRI to synthetic CT generation, surface image guidance setup, and Ethos online adaptive therapy. This treatment is traditionally complicated and takes days to plan. Now with AI and Ethos, we can do day 0 immediate treatment!

This week we treated the first ‘simulation omitted’ hippocampus sparing whole brain radiation therapy case. The process was smooth and efficient with <10 minutes adaptive contour/planning time and < 30 min patient in and out time.

Enjoyed my time at the joint FARO/KOSRO convention in Seoul, South Korea. Wonderful hosts, learned a lot, and got to talk about personalizing radiotherapy and immunotherapy strategies.
