As we are concluding our mental and spiritual practice of fasting during Ramadan, here’s a reminder of the physical benefits of adopting a lifestyle of less. Here’s to the midday latte I’ve been craving all month, Eid Mubarak! 10.1056/NEJMra1905136
I'm in awe of the beauty that people can create, as well as the ability of others, like Mohammad Reza Domiri Ganji, to capture and magnify it.

Today’s the last interview day at the Cleveland Clinic! Happy to have met so many talented residency candidates. Looking forward to calling all of you colleagues soon!

As a physician and a humanitarian, I stand with the people of Palestine. Trapping 2.2 million people in an open air prison, starving them, cutting off electricity, then telling them to leave when there is no way out is a global atrocity.

Congrats Dr. Kevin Stephans for being selected teacher of the year '17-18! You have shown dedication to teaching, from mentoring half the residency group on research projects to always being patient with our endless questions in the clinic.

We just finished our first-in-human trial of Temporally Feathered Radiation Therapy. Expect a pre-print in the coming weeks. tl;dr it is feasible :)

A well-written letter from our resident representatives at ARRO in response to the low pass rates on the physics (70%) and radiobiology (74%) board exams. Qualifying exams must be fair, objective and valid.

Do you know how to integrate artificial intelligence in the practice of radiation oncology? Great talk by Dr. Brock and Dr Dekker!

Six feet is the safe social distance out in the parks, but perhaps it should also be the new safe distance to pass a road biker!

We know metastatic

is rarely controlled with chemotherapy. So, why not consider SBRT? (median survival = 69 months in this Dutch study). 🇳🇱

how can we stock the in-flight medical kit with

stethoscopes? The current disposable set is insufficient to listen to heart sounds over the ambient cabin noise.
Thank you
@RTendulkarMD
for sending me to the chief resident workshop! Dr. Peter Rea gave us a talk highlighting the 4G’s: Giver, Grit, Growth mindset, Gratitude.
Thank you Dr. Ahluwalia
@BrainTumorDoc
for giving us a 2 part series on systemic therapies for glioblastoma and brain tumors. The landscape is changing quickly with the optimization of immunotherapy!

Our first year doing a dosimetry workshop series as part of our residency curriculum. Thanks
@RichardLJQiuPhD
for your dedication to these efforts! We designed a palliative set up to this sheep!
We are looking forward to the next steps of a larger phase 2 study with an automated planning process! On brand for
@CancerConnector
for bringing together a team of physicists, dosimetrists, therapists, theoretical mathematicians and clinicians.
We had an extraordinary team of physicists who made this all possible. See our how-to guide on planning here: . Special thanks to

My word to all: I denounce any act of violence and killing. There should be no lives lost. Be careful not to equate Palestinian civilians with Hamas or terrorists. The current genocide against Palestinians cannot be ignored.
@PottersMD
agreed, we prospectively review 100% of our definitive cases - both contours and plan. it allows for meaningful discussions that directly affect our patients.

, you are correct. The capability of the tissue to recover is built into our NTCP model. And the benefit of TFRT hinges on this. Though, at the moment we don’t have a good measure of tissue’s propensity to recover.
TFRT delivers tumoricidal doses to the target daily while spatiotemporally feathering dose to the surrounding OARs. Theoretically, this creates potential for increased normal tissue recovery & less OAR toxicity. See theory here special thx to

@AramModrek
While I see your point Simul, I think simplifying the complex practice of radiation oncology to drawing circles is problematic. We need highly analytical, thoughtful physicians diagnosing and treating patients. That’s what this is all about in the end.
@tmprowell
How can we flatten the curve when those that need access to PCPs for testing and appropriate quarantine, don’t have it? At the individual hospital-level, people have started taking responsibility to offer free testing.
