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

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. #FreeGaza #FreePalestine

@drjamesgood @davidbermudezi @CancerConnector @npjccf @RichardLJQiuPhD @PQiPhD @JeremyDonaghue @jc_atlantis @ShlomoKoyfmanMD Sure, the concept is rather simple. Our goal is to allow normal tissues more time to recover from sublethal damage induced by RT. Story short, we keep the tumor dose the same but rotate the dose to the nearby critical structures on a daily basis.

@CancerConnector @ProfAJChalmers @npjccf @ProfAJChalmers , 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 @jc_atlantis :
