X-torial: Cleaning up the misinformation about @JoeBiden and #ProstateCancer that I am reading everywhere.

Excited by this year’s highly competitive group! In-person interviews will be January 21, 23, and 30, with flights and hotels covered. We have many exciting updates as we’ve positioned our program at the forefront of modern training and learning! 🚀 📈@ARRO_org @ASTRO_org
Well-done paper on recurrence detection for HPV+ oropharyngeal cancer. Will be interesting to see how detection method changes with more routine ctDNA surveillance testing.
Across an 8-year span, 80% of patients with recurrent HPV+ oropharyngeal cancer had their recurrence detected through symptom changes vs imaging surveillance. ja.ma/4dOU5qx

1/They say form follows function!
Brain MRI anatomy is best understood in terms of both form & function.
Here’s a short thread to help you to remember important functional brain anatomy--so you truly can clinically correlate!

No survival benefit with TMZ in elderly patients (majority over age 70) with "truly" unmethylated MGMTp glioblastoma, and RT alone superior to TMZ alone. ~45% GBMs meet cutoff of "truly" unmethylated.
Nice analysis of NOA-08 and CE.6 in Neuro-Onc. doi.org/10.1093/neuonc/noae1…
Nice review on the work-up and management of leptomeningeal disease, an entity that unfortunately we see commonly in our practice.

Rad onc = #1 for professional fulfillment 🙌🏽
1 in 3 academic physicians report they are considering leaving their institution within 2 years. Burnout and lack of professional fulfillment were associated with intention to leave; a comprehensive approach will be needed to reduce physician turnover. ja.ma/3GKmRKN

What are the cognitive outcomes for glioma w/ modern focal RT?
· Prospective Study F/U up to 11 years!
· Stable w/some improvement
· Despite more aggressive tumors outcomes comparable to Watchful-Waiting cohort

More is better for SRS?
Another (retrospective) study showing fractionated SRS results in better local control compared to single-fraction SRS, this time in pre-op setting (p=0.009 on matched analysis). Nice work by Drs. Roshan Prabhu and @stuxrt
