people don't talk about the fact that because the joy of motherhood is loving other humans more than you ever thought was possible.... the flip side is how much pain is possible in motherhood. no greater joy, and no greater pain. to love is to be vulnerable.

Beautiful Denver for NRG summer meeting! Don’t forget to book your hotel like I did last time!

Nice editorial in JAMA Oncology today urging caution in pts w near CR after total neoadjuvant therapy in rectal cancer.

Reported rates of conversion from nCR to cCR vary widely from 39% to 100%!

Completely agree these patients should be counseled re: uncertainty of pursuing organ…

Out today in EJC, with Alyson Haslam and Vinay Prasad MD MPH ❗️👇

We explored the reliability of quality of life (QoL) results when a lot of patients quit a trial.

Great to be part of Common Sense Oncology, whose mission - to prioritize outcomes that matter to patients - encapsulates my goal as a radiation oncologist.

Met and reunited w some awesome folks these past few days.

(PS all oncology meetings should have live music & poutine).

I was hungry so I got some poutine

Some common sense radiation oncology! Nice to see the movement spreading. Maybe one day will have some common sense myeloma.

Nice work Edward Christopher "Chris" Dee, MD & team!

In well-selected patients, ablative RT may improve outcomes in locally recurrent pancreas cancer.

Dutch ARCADE RCT assessing this strategy, & Hyun Kim also developing trial through NRG.

Edward Christopher "Chris" Dee, MD - we need you in GI rad onc!

Our Rad Onc Purple Beam Team, led by Dr. Todd Aguilera MD PhD and Minda Hill, came in third place for overall fundraising for the #PanCANPurpleStride PanCAN! Dr. Aguilera also placed second for individual fundraising!

Thank you to Neil Newman for giving a lecture at RadOncUH University Hospitals CWRU School of Medicine on the management of hepatocellular carcinoma.

If radiation had an accelerated approval pathway - also based on surrogate endpoints like response rate - it would probably be approved in most settings.

Which doesn’t make sense. Just FYI.

Nice pre-ASCO ESOPEC discussion Krishan Jethwa & Daniel Catenacci, Daniel Catenacci you know our rad onc talking points well 😂

Let's wait to see results. Folks also thought for sure FOLFIRINOX would be winner in PREOPANC2, and OS curves turned out superimposable.

I do think among GI cancers, HCC is a site where protons could be beneficial due to more sparing of non-target liver.

Also suggested in Ted Hong 2015 JCO paper and our MGH retrospective analysis.

Hope NRG GI003 proton v photon RCT finishes accruing.

Protons are just 1 tool…
