A call to all Radiation oncologists involved in Gynecological cancer care. Do you think patients with diabetes have a higher risk of developing acute toxicity during chemoradiation ? Can you point to some evidence behind this. We are planning a study on this and not finding much data for Gynecological cancers. #radonc #oncology #radiotherapy # gyncsm #diabetes #toxicity #radiotherapy #medmastodon #RadiationOncology #insulin #medonc #clinonc #cancer

Cost of #Insulin by Country 2022 https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/cost-of-insulin-by-country

Insulin's inventors sold the patent for a dollar to a university because they wanted everyone to afford it.
