Unresectable HCC (median tumor diameter 10cm, 60% MVI) treated w IO+SBRT (N=63): -46% achieved complete response, much higher than prior trials of IO alone: atezo/bev (CR 5.5% IMBRAVE150) & STRIDE (3.3% CR) -CR associated w better OS (3yr 76% vs. 28%)! jamanetwork.com/journals/jamao…

Also found this to be a very notable finding from ADRIATIC & thought the same thing.

Key slide from the ADRIATIC presentation at #ESMO24 3-yr OS rates: ▶️ BD RT: 65.8% (durva) vs 57.4% (placebo) ▶️ OD RT: 53.1% (durva) vs 43.3% (placebo) ➡️ survival superior with BD RT 📝 CONVERT trial and @myESMO guidelines support adopting BD RT in routine practice

Improvements in radiation using IMRT translated into less pneumonitis for locally-advanced NSCLC in NRG Oncology-RTOG 0617 compared to 3D-CRT. Planning should minimize the heart V40Gy and lung V20Gy, as the lung V5Gy had no long-term impact on outcome. ja.ma/3XvFTN7

#ESMO24 Lung mini-orals🔥 Randomised ph II trial of inhaled corticosteroids in stage III NSCLC treated with cCRT, to reduce radiation pneumonitis: - 292pts - 15% reduction in RP - no long-term steroid tox No need for ph III, could do tomorrow #ESMOAmbassadors #ESMO24 @myESMO

Major congrats to my friend Dr Sofia Rivera on the HypoG-01 just presented at #ESMO2024 Hypofractionation not inferior to conventional fractionation for #BreastCancer with nodal RT. ✅Similar toxicity ✅Similar efficacy (BCSM OS LRFS DMFS) 3 weeks is the way to go!

All well that ends with OS. HR of 0.67 for Pembrolizumab in Keynote A18 What about Interlace approach? KeynoteA18 vs Interlace or Both ? Interlace not yet published since last esmo23 presentation ?? @BanerjeeSusana @5_utr @barriere_dr @Larvol @OncoAlert #ESMO24

So what's the story for day 2 of Esmo24 ? Keynote A18 shows OS benifit. Pembrolizumab in CTRT for cervix. HR 0.67 ( 0.5 to 0.90 ) 82.6 % vs 74.8 % OS at 36 months . OS Benifit seen across all the stages . This should make it new SOC. 🙂👍@esmo #ESMO2024 @Larvol @OncoAlert

This is a big deal. Cancer #cachexia is terrible and significantly impacts quality of life for patients.

🚨🚨Hot off the press @NEJM In a randomized Ph II Ponsegromab, an anti-GDF15 mAB, increased weight gain, overall physical activity and reduced cachexia symptoms in patients with #cachexia and ⬆️ GDF-15 nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

What a huge impact @DrOmarMian made on all of us here - can’t wait to see your continued success

Grateful for 8 wonderful years at the @ClevelandClinic @CCLRI I will miss my amazing colleagues. So excited for the next adventure at @fredhutch @uwradonc!

Single fraction RT (8Gy) significantly improves hepatic pain compared with best supportive care and can be considered standard palliative treatment. No increase in toxicity. @ldawsonmd @CDNCancerTrials thelancet.com/journals/lanon…

Single fraction lung SBRT has become my go-to for medically inoperable stage I NSCLC. How about others? #radonc pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34048817/

The more gains you seek, the more losses will inadvertently occur along the way. Being so fixated on accomplishing the pre-set goals might make you unaware of the losses that aren't always directly related to the goal.

Another prospective study published in October 2023 in JTO shows similar cancer specific survival and OS when SBRT/SABR cohort matched with surgical cohort in pts with T<2 cm, N0,M0 NSCLC. Both cohorts achieved 88-90% lung ca specific survival at 10 years.
