SBRT vs. Ablation for Kidney Cancer: A Game-Changer? @OncoAlert 🚀🔥 #RadOnc 🧵 Ablative therapies for localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC): What’s the best approach? 📢 A new Lancet Oncology study compares SBRT, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), and cryoablation. How do these stack up? Let’s break it down. 👇 #app-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thelancet.com/journals/lanon…

Do all early-stage breast cancer patients need axillary surgery? The INSEMA trial challenges this long-standing practice, showing that skipping sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) may be safe for select patients. ☢️ plays a key role. Let’s dive into the data. 🧵 1/13#RadOnc #BreastSurgery

RACE-GB is out! Congrats to authors for FIRST RCT of RT in gallbladder cancer. N=135 w unresectable GBC, after 4c chemo, addition of RT (vs. obs) improved OS from 4 to 10 months. Several limitations (single center, chemo gem/cis & 4 mo) but OS benefit shouldn’t be ignored.

Really incredible article about an insurance company disciplining a doctor for following the standard of care. journals.lww.com/em-news/fullte… Looks like their “experts” are just as bad as some of the most crooked plaintiff experts I see.

Thrilled to see that KEYNOTE-0412 has been published in Lancet Oncology. TL/DR: The utility of an CRT/IO combination hasn’t been figured out yet, but the field is getting much closer. thelancet.com/action/showPdf…

MONTHs ago, I saw a young patient who lost all her hair one day. And as someone who developed alopecia areata ophiasis and lost all her eyebrows and hairlines, I KNOW I needed to act fast. So far, this is the despicable game we have been asked to play with coordinated care: - I tried “traditional” therapies with steroids, injections, etc. Failed (of course). - I prescribed a Biologics that’s FDA approved for alopecia areata for patients over 12, and documented (heartbreaking) photos, and detailed reasoning why we needed the medication - Insurance denied it. (#1) - I appealed, got denial #2. - I requested peer to peer discussion and blocked my busy clinic time to do it. - A non-physician called my nursing staff and REFUSED to talk to me and denied my demand to talk to a peer, so even my peer to peer was denied! (#3) - Told us we needed an exception application. I put together a 38 page letter including the FDA approval and clinical trials and my notes, again. - We didn’t hear back for weeks. - Then we got denial #4 because we “didn’t file the right appeal.” - I filed yet ANOTHER appeal. - We’ve not heard back again for weeks now. We keep calling and be put on hold for 30 minutes at a time. Here is what prior authorizations do: - they aim to drive cost down for insurance companies, and serves as few patients as possible - they waste clinicians’ time for patient care - they waste nursing staff’s time for patient care - they hurt patients by dictating what happens in the exam rooms without actually being there 👏Prior 👏 Authorizations 👏 Are 👏SCAMS 👏 and 👏 they 👏 harm 👏 patients 👏 You know what I’m going to do? I’m going to get my patient the FUCKING medicine. 🤬 zedzha.com/blog/hide-away…

Results of this randomized clinical trial suggest that after induction chemotherapy for locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, radiotherapy alone was noninferior to chemoradiotherapy in terms of 3-year progression-free survival. ja.ma/3SFqZBw
