Proud to see Luke del Balzo on the main stage delivering a great talk on the risk of ICH in patients with RCC Brain Mets receiving SRS and VEGFi at ISRSy 2024! Memorial Sloan Kettering Radiation Oncology Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

New in JAMA Network Open: In this study, #radiationoncology care provided by fully remote clinicians was safe & feasible, with no serious patient events. High pt satisfaction, substantial cost savings, & decreased environmental consequences were observed.

These data not only have important implications for CMSGov payment policies—i.e., whether direct supervision requires an 'on-site' at all times approach—but also provides a model for delivering high-quality radiation care in underserved, rural, or resource-limited settings

🚨Very excited to share our work on remote management of #radonc patients now in JAMA Network Open. Over 2800 patients managed remotely had high satisfaction with no major safety events, lower out of pocket costs and a reduced carbon footprint.

This is brilliant work by John Cuaron. Proud to have helped. This adds to the mounting data from ASCO on the clear utility and safety of telehealth. #radonc #medtwitter Shannon M MacDonald Caleb Trotter Pacific Legal 🗡⚖️

Most insurance denials in radiation oncology were ultimately approved upon appeal; however, radiation technique and/or effectiveness may be compromised by payer-mandated changes, this cohort study of insurer-denied cases finds. ja.ma/3yRljOj Memorial Sloan Kettering Radiation Oncology

👏🏼Incredible work by John Cuaron and Memorial Sloan Kettering Radiation Oncology showing that remote mgmt of ☢️ radiation cancer care is not only safe and effective, but is associated with:
↑ High patient satisfaction
↓ Lower OOP costs
↓ Smaller carbon footprint

Amazing dinner tonight with some of the ever brilliant Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center #radonc superstar residents. I have had the privilege to work with many of these phenomenal physicians over the past 5 years. It's been a highlight of my Memorial Sloan Kettering Radiation Oncology career. 🤩🙌💫

👏TAKE👏MY👏JOB👏

I have really FLOURISHED here Memorial Sloan Kettering Radiation Oncology. I honestly can say that I would not have been able to accelerate my career to the extent I have as a junior faculty at any other institution.

If you are motivated and driven, this is the perfect place for you.

New in AnnalsSurgOncology: H&N Cutaneous neurotropic #melanoma is prone to local relapse. This trial assessed #radiation therapy to the primary after local excision but closed early. At ~5 yrs, 3 in the observation & 1 in the RT arm had local recurrence.

🚨 New in JAMA Network Open — we present findings from the ALIGNMENT trial, a stepped-wedge, cluster RCT testing implementation strategies to promote guideline concordant RT for bone mets across an academic-community partnership. Thanks to Erin Gillespie, MD MPH for leading this work!

☢️🦴New in JAMA Network Open: A stepped-wedge, cluster randomized QI study from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Cancer Alliance to ⬆️use of short-course #radiotherapy for nonspine bone metastases w/in an academic-community partnership.
