This is something I don’t really get. Huge and sustained difference in bDFS with FLAME when average D98 was 85/37 to DIL (curves start separating at 1y!). Bravo 👏🏻 But with PACE B where whole prostate (including DIL) had D98 of over 100Gy EQD2 but only small improvement (nss) Can anyone explain?

We saw the same trend in #PACE B (HR around 0.75 if I recall favouring #SBRT). Only time will tell if difference holds and becomes statistically significant.

What’s stunning is that nothing is being done about it! Hegseth should be fired - at least he won’t need to feel guilty about his #DayDrinking

This will be a game changer! Much (10x) cheaper than MRI, no room shielding / purge requirements, no special safety training. In Canada no US restrictions (unlike MRI). PS I have no COI with this company.

It’s a no-brainer @drandrewloblaw.bsky.social , any treatment that increases cure rates should be approved, no questions asked. Canada ahead of us again!

Fortunately in Ontario Canada abi is available through general formulary (no forms or special application - same as an antibiotic!) Only Cdn$30 per day! Great for patients and the healthcare system

Elon Musk has lost US$700 billion market cap in 3 months. Trump has been bankrupt like 10 times? Why would anyone believe they could run one of the world’s largest economies?

There is a second screen for prostate cancer (MRI): I call it a “manogram”

Almost all guidelines recommend active surveillance for low and selected int risk #ProstateCancer But no one tells you the IR pts that are safe… until now Over 1500 pts, >10y mFU: absolute % pattern 4/5 has same MFS as GG1 ds Ruben del Castillo presented at #GU25 & awarded @asco Award of Merit
