Mashup Score: 1Overcoming Barriers to Radiation Oncology Access in Low-Resource Settings in the United States - 4 year(s) ago
Providing high-quality radiation therapy in medically underserved, low-resource environments can be challenging in the United States. During the American Society of Radiation Oncology 2020 Annual Meeting, the American Society for Radiation Oncology Committee on Health Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion hosted 4 radiation oncologists from both academic and community practices in an educational…

Mashup Score: 4A Phase II Trial Combining Pembrolizumab and Palliative Radiotherapy in Gastroesophageal Cancer to Augment Abscopal Immune Responses - 4 year(s) ago
Single agent PD-1 inhibitors have yielded durable responses in a minority of gastroesophageal cancers. Radiotherapy has been recognized to promote anti-tumor immune responses and may synergize with anti-PD-1 agents. We sought to evaluate if combining palliative radiotherapy with pembrolizumab can augment anti-tumor immune responses in gastroesophageal cancer.

Medical errors in radiation oncology sometimes involve tasks reliant on practitioners’ grasp of numeracy. Numeracy has been shown to be suboptimal across various health care professionals. Herein, we assess health numeracy among American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) members.

Oligoprogression, defined as limited sites of progression on systemic therapy, in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is not uncommon, possibly because of inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity. We evaluated the effect of stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SAbR) for longitudinal control of oligoprogressive mRCC.

Mashup Score: 5Remote Mentorship in Radiation Oncology: Lessons to Share - 4 year(s) ago
Mentorship is a key factor in promoting and maintaining fulfillment in medical practice. Invariably, physician success stories usually have a common thread: an important mentor, or mentors, whose guidance proved invaluable. Finding mentors has been noted as a challenge for women in radiation oncology given low representation in the field1. In 2019, women comprised only 17.4% of department chairs…

Mashup Score: 5The Declining Residency Applicant Pool: A Multi-Institutional Medical Student Survey to Identify Precipitating Factors - 4 year(s) ago
The purpose of our study was to better understand and identify concerns that may be responsible for the declining radiation oncology (RO) residency applicant pool.

We can continue wondering why there's been an unprecedented decline in the field or be a leader like @Trudywu2, @MSteinbergMD, and @AnnRaldow_MD to figure out what we can do about it. #radonc @subatomicdoc https://t.co/PXorfkC9rf https://t.co/6I0dUXClZu

Mashup Score: 2Variations in Resources Among Radiation Oncology Residency Programs in the United States - 4 year(s) ago
The purpose of this research was to assess the existing variations in the residency training resources among radiation oncology (RO) residency programs in the United States. We queried each residency program website and Fellowship Residency Electronic Interactive Data Access System website (www.freida.ama-assn.org) to obtain information on faculty and available treatment modalities. The data were…

Mashup Score: 0Current Social Media Use Among Radiation Oncology Trainees - 4 year(s) ago
In this study, radiation oncology residents were anonymously surveyed about social media (SM) and digital resource use. SM platform use, time spent on SM, professional use, and opinions regarding SM were assessed. We identified several advantages and disadvantages of social media use among residents and highlighted areas for further research.
