☢️🚨 Everything you wanted to know about reirradiation (and maybe even more) — now out in @CACancerJournal! A massive effort led by @arnaud_beddok & @NAndratschke, powered by an international all-star team 🌍 Grateful to everyone who contributed! 🙌 #RadOnc @OncoAlert
Reirradiation (reRT) is reshaping cancer care—offering hope for recurrent tumors w/ advanced precision techniques like IMRT & SBRT. Multidisciplinary care, imaging, and innovation are key. New #OpenAccess review by Andratschke et al: acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wi… @OncoAlert #RadOnc

Prospective evidence to guide decision making on reirradiation is still scarce. So how are ongoing trials addressing the knowledge gaps? Find it out in our systematic review of a clinical trials database 👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.radonc.202… #radonc #OpenAccess

How do we talk about (and report) #reirradiation? There's been quite a lot of variation in the literature - including basic spelling! We agreed on a set of standard nomenclature & terminology in the @ESTRO_RT Physics reRT working group sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #medphys #radonc

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Sexual health after cancer matters! Our team is trying to learn more about how pelvic radiation for #analcancer impacts men who have sex with men. Please share with any survivors who may be willing to share their experience with us. redcap.link/9ibj7i85

We’re pleased to announce the publication of ‘Principles of reirradiation’. These principals have been produced to guide and support clinicians in contentious areas of practice that lack strong evidence. 🔗 rcr.ac.uk/our-services/all-o…

A fantastic meeting on a challenging and under-researched topic! There is an Increasing need for access to reRT and guidance for clinical applications. Thanks to @elivaos and @cancerphysicist for so spearheading this work through @ESTRO_RT and now #ReCOG! #medphys #radonc #rtt
What a blast! The #ReCOG meeting was absolutely fantastic, thanks to amazing colleagues and so many inspiring #reirradiation discussions. Now the hard work begins to turn all the ideas and intentions into a proper international consortium 🤩 #radonc #medphys #radiobiology

If you think modeling the outcome of RT is challenging, try ReRT! A stonewall of clinical, dosimetric, and radiological complexity. #ReCOG was 2½ days of fireworks🎆🎇 superbly hosted by U Mich. We made some huge cracks in that wall, and the light will come in!🔆

Improved locoregional control with PET-guided inhomogeneous dose escalation in locally advanced NSCLC! 😍 The NARLAL2 trial randomised 350 pt to 66Gy/33# or up to ~94Gy boost. Locoregional control: 50% vs 60% at 24m. No increased toxicity! #ESTRO24 #radonc #NSCLC
