Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Post SBRT lung sitting there for the last 3 years as fibrosis: 👁️👄👁️ Radiologist: “cannot exclude residual disease, clinical correlation recommended, suggest PET/CT, bronchoscopy, repeat CT in 6 weeks, and carrier pigeon to oncologist”

@RyanAFournier This you?

Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.

Why do people act surprised anymore? It's not even news. It would be news if the US wasn't illegally attacking someone for any length of time. I left in 2004, partly out of protest in relation Iraq. And the violence has continued nonstop since then. It'll end when it's no longer profitable.

Even in EGFR/ALK+ NSCLC (where TKIs have excellent CNS penetration), upfront radiation improves outcomes P(disease control) = P(distant control | local control) P(local control). Combined modality and team work!

Happy That @NatureMedicine has decided to put this disclaimer secondary to voices raised on social media about the study published. Other journals can take a clue @EUplatinum

@semioticmonkey @GaryPetersonUSA Penso sia un account satirico ;-)

Not since James Bond have we had an American who wakes up every morning to fight our enemies with swagger, the holy scripture, and sex appeal, which is why we honor President Trump on this #PresidentsDay.

Gratteri ha detto una cosa vera: Ieri un carabiniere è stato preso a calci da dei delinquenti che stavano assaltando un portavalori ma la destra al governo non ne ha parlato molto perché non è funzionale alla loro propaganda a differenza dei manifestanti di Torino #ottoemezzo

Good to know we can make up all data on a graph for this journal. X-axis intervals and just repeats 24 and 36 months. Y-axis shows curve going to basically 0% when it is supposed to be 42%. And we ask why the public doesn’t trust science and doctors 🤦🏻‍♂️ My 11 yo caught this…perhaps he should run that journal.

@AmarUKishan @DrSpratticus Im sorry you see it that way. I don’t at all. This is a flawed study with a corrupted denominator. It’s sad the reviewers of a high-impact urology journal don’t understand basic statistics. We should all be seeking truth in data. That’s not what happened here. It’s just bad science that should be retracted, and yet being promoted by others who also don’t understand or perhaps even care about basic statistics. The journal’s reputation is at stake, as well as anyone who promotes junk science. x.com/drspratticus/s…

@PDBrownOnc @NayanLamba @RifRahmanMD @XRTanguturi @DanielCagney @HElhalawaniMD @DHaasKogan @AyalAizer At the end of the day, Who really needs WBRT? ;-)

Kudos @NayanLamba @RifRahmanMD @XRTanguturi @DanielCagney @HElhalawaniMD @DhaasKogan @AyalAizer & colleagues 2354 brain mets, 185 w/focal LM ext More common in Breast CA SRS for these has been my practice as well

Do brain met w/focal leptomeningeal extension need WBRT? NO, according to this study W/ or w/o focal LM ext no diff LC (1yr 95%), develop classic LMD (1 yr 5%) even if treated w/SRS academic.oup.com/neuro-oncology…

This hits so hard

Alex Pretti was by all accounts a great guy. Depressing to think about what a high quality man he was, compared to the masked goons who took his life. Aasma Shaukat said she hired Pretti for a research position at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System about a decade ago. “Alex was the sweetest, kindest, gentlest soul you ever met,” said Shaukat, now a physician and clinical researcher at the Manhattan VA Medical Center. He was very bright-eyed, bushy-tailed. He wanted to get into the health care field, work with patients and be a nurse,” she recalled. “He did wonderful. Did his work really well, was a team player.” After finishing nursing school, Pretti returned to the Minneapolis VA as an intensive care nurse, she said. “He wanted to serve the veterans, just had a high sense of duty and thought they were a vulnerable group in the country who needed our help,” she said. Drekonja said he was impressed that Pretti secured a job in the ICU fresh out of nursing school. “It is a testament to his abilities that he felt ready for it, that he was up for that challenge and wanted to help,” he said. Pretti would always greet him by name, Drekonja recalled, and stood out from other nurses for his distinctive beard. They both loved mountain biking and often rode the same trails, he said. They never spoke about ICE operations or politics at work, Drekonja said. “He was really someone that helped,” Drekonja said. "It’s just impossible to imagine a negative interaction with him. And the fact that he was killed on city streets — as an employee of the U.S. government, by the U.S. government — it’s blowing my mind. washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/01…

The obsession with ‘magic bullet’ oncology—small molecules, CAR-T, or immunotherapies—reflects a cocktail of biological misunderstanding and oversimplification, psychological need, financial incentives, and the human habit of over-generalizing rare successes

Imagine 4 new anticancer drugs Pallituzumab, Geriatriximab, Symptomab, & Exercizumab hit the market. They should dominate the plenary sessions at ASCO & command billion-dollar revenue. But they don't because they're nonpharmacologic & shame on us. Read our opinion piece in @JCO_ASCO ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.12…
