I had a fabulous #ASTRO2026 & just getting around to posting. Wonderful trainees talks, science including the LDRT workshop. @SpeedofLightFdn Gala, & was honored to be in the company of this year’s FASTRO class. @ASTRO_org @WashUMedRadOnc @gogo_gopss @IBCradiation @KimpleRandall

Truly an incredible first @ASTRO_org meeting! Loved presenting our work on pre-op APBI and immune remodeling in ER+ breast cancer. So grateful to @carmenbergom & @MCWRORes for the opportunity!
And Ofcourse, so special to catch up with my undergrad mentor @KimpleRandall!

Amazing to see the U.S. National Championships for figure skating at @Enterprise_Cntr. All the best skaters facing off in St. Louis!

Thrilled to share our new preclinical paper: low-dose (nonablative) cardiac radiation reduces VT/VF in NICM — associated with improved ventricular conduction and sympathetic nerve distribution.
Grateful for our stellar team: @alicardsdoc @carmenbergom @drlpedersen @doctorphillep @rentschlerlab and first author Devaki Abhyankar.

It's the 10-year anniv of the 1st patient treated with StereoTactic Arrhythmia Radiotherapy (STAR) by @DoctorPhillEP & @SBRT_CR! We've given many talks, been featured in media, formed a center, held intl symposiums, helped 100+ centers begin STAR & now treated our 100th patient!

NIH funding cuts could cost the U.S. $16 Billion and 68,000 jobs. An interactive tool from @joshuasweitz and team shows the local impact across the U.S. - down to the county level. This isn’t abstract - these numbers affect real communities and real lives: scienceimpacts.org

One of the more dynamic fields in cancer tx is the evolution of radiation therapy--as well as cardiotoxicity
@joshmitchellmd @carmenbergom @RajaZaghlol et al provide this excellent review of past, present and future avenues radiation CV toxicity

This is what we thought would be but didn’t have evidence like this to support . Excellent work @Icro_Meattini and team @CShahMD @ErinGillespieMD
‼️ EUROPA interim
Ph3 RCT 70+ y/o low risk breast cancer -> BCS -> adjuvant endocrine only vs adjuvant APBI only
APBI has better HRQoL than endocrine tx, adj mean difference 6.39 (0.14-12.65)
0 IBTR, LRR, or DM events!!

Interest in radiation therapy for non-neoplastic disease is reviving. Its use as an anti-inflammatory treatment is controversial but was well known >80 years ago. From @NEJM 1939
