As the world familiarizes itself with the SABR-COMET and OLIGOMEZ studies, @drdavidpalma reminded us at #SABR18 that we should also know the DUTCH phase II RCT that also showed an OS benefit with local ablative therapy.

A pivotal study from @UTSW_RadOnc demonstrates what happened to 23 patients with oligometastatic Kidney Cancer who opted for SBRT instead of systemic drug therapy. #radonc

A lung cancer survivor just shared that trying to get advice about Radiation Oncology from a Medical Oncologist is akin to it "asking a civil engineer to solve an electrical engineering problem". #lcsm #radonc @jillfeldman4

Phrenic nerve injury is a known complication of thoracic surgery. A report from Stanford confirms it is now also associated with SBRT. #radonc

Here is a study that could be more impactful if published in a surgical oncology journal. That's because surgeons are more likely to manage these patients. @sueyom #radonc

I finally found it. The first RANDOMIZED study that demonstrated an OS benefit with radiotherapy for lung cancer. Completed at @VABronx with mesovoltage (200-260 kV), before discovery of the CT scanner, and when Roentgenologists planned the 4,000-5,000 r prescriptions. #radonc

Hereโ€™s a bunch of people living with lung cancer. They spent the past two days with the NLCRT to make sure patientsโ€™ perspectives were considered by the panel assembled by the @AmericanCancer to develop a long term plan to #EndStigma . #lcsm

"Should I hold the immune checkpoint inhibitor during stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases?" Another well-done study shows that it's not necessary. #radonc #lcsm @MarkMishraMD @JillRemickMD

While some are worried about treating 1 or 2 oligometastatic lesions, @drdavidpalma is helping the world figure out whether we should be treating 10 or even more instead. #radonc #lcsm @IyengarPuneeth @Docace911
