Proud to be a teammate !

Been a great near year.

Department growing, cancer services improving and financially stable.

Here’s to many more!

We had a great time at our Top 100 Celebration!!🎉 we’re so proud of our staff and physicians who work hard each day to make our hospital one of the best. We are one of only two medium-sized hospitals in Michigan to be named to the list. 🎉 #100TopHospitals #Fortune / #Merative

Student today:

“You like Snickers? That’s a dad candy!!”

Ah, yes, I’ll be happy to write your LOR

Who’s ready for Halloween? Do you have your costumes picked out?

This was one of my favorites… I even legit got a perm.

Provocative question of the day:

Should HA-WBRT be the SoC for all patients being considered for WBRT (e.g., > 10 BM), even with < 4 mo of life expectancy?

Hair loss may be avoided with this technique and likely 📈QoL, even with a short life expectancy. #radonc Joshua D. Palmer, MD

Nice practical study about omitting mucosa/tumor bed after TORS

A Prospective Study of Mucosal Sparing Radiation Therapy in Resected O... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Over 85% of radiation oncologists in Europe offer radiation therapy for #osteoarthritis compared to 10% of providers in the United States. #radonc

Congrats to Marsha Reyngold for presenting our Miami Cancer Institute Research Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center ablative outcomes for #PancreaticCancer at #ASTRO22 ! Similar impressive FFLP/OS of 5fx MRgRT & 15-25fx CTgRT noting differences in tumor location. Supports prospective ablative MR/CT trials.

One more matched control data showing bladder preservation effective with low risk of salvage cystectomy and no compromise of survival in comparison to surgery

Some mom’s buy books…

This one also builds the bookshelves

#oncology lives under the “academic gaze”

Especially #radonc

Pt reported outcomes after hypofx IMRT v. Proton therapy for prostate cancer: trend to worse toxicity (at certain time pts) with protons (but not technically significant…). #ASTRO22

Pippa Cosper MD, PhD This should be best of ASTRO! Free radiation oncology from high tech waste! Sure do studies but all over? Let’s do carbon / flash QOD😢😩

I've been following along #ASTRO22 and can't help but think about how some research being showcased furthers inequity in medicine. Some places have all the tech, AI, MR linac, protons and certain patients can/will travel for that technology, whether or not it clinically matters.
