📢🚨 Hot off the press @TheLancetOncol for #kidneycancer! SABR vs thermal ablation; - Despite ⏫age, ⏬worse GFR, and ⏫tumours for SABR - SABR ⬆️effective than TA (at 1, 2 and 5 yrs) - esp for RCC >4cm - same renal decline (p=0.75) - similar F/U #radonc

@crispinhiley @gerryhanna @ClinOncologist @JCO_ASCO @fifimcdrmh @DrewMoghanaki @finn_corinne @gwalls89 @DavidDbal @cpeedell @Mat_Guc @DrJNaidoo @FordePatrick @drdavidpalma @HoudaBahig @bensolomon1 But why would this data be invalid with a different TKI? Generally as systemic therapy improves the importance of local therapy for macroscopic disease becomes more important? TKI are not curative.

Interesting paper just out in @JCO_ASCO Chinese study in patients with EGFR positive oligo-organ metastatic #NSCLC. TKI plus RT group received 60Gy to primary and positive LNs. RT to metastases determined by clinicians. Median OS was 26.2 months and 34.4 months (RT)

TFS (treatment breaks) at 1-year is ~90% with SABR; for selected patients this might be the optimal choice! 1) 2) 3) #radonc @DrChoueiri @AlbigesL @DrRanaMcKay @tompowles1 @DrewMoghanaki @ChadTangMD

Treatment free survival is becoming an important endpoint when looking at different #mRCC treatments. VEGF alone had shortest TFS. Something to be said about treatment breaks. Thx to #mehulgupta and #meredithregan @IMDConline @DrRanaMcKay @tompowles1 @DrChoueiri @EurUrolOncol

When you’re constantly reviewing radiotherapy isodose distributions on large computer screens it’s easy to lose sight of just how amazingly accurate linacs are. We can deliver ablative doses of radiation with mm accuracy! Here are a list of other things that are 1 mm in size
