#StJude may have set the new #GoldStandard for pediatric #craniopharyngioma treatment. Explore the phase 2 #ClinicalTrial showing how #ProtonTherapy improved #NeurocognitiveOutcomes over historical #PhotonTherapy. https://bit.ly/3mIESCO #StJudeResearch #LancetOncology #BrainTumor #BTAM #BrainTumorAwarenessMonth

The aim of IMI project @PROTECT_trial@twitter.com is to compare the results of #ProtonTherapy and #radiotherapy for people with #cancer of the oesophagus whose treatment also includes chemotherapy and surgery.

Crap. I Just asked my newly downloaded #Tarot card app if I was going to die of #cancer & it said "yes". I just completed active treatment for #BreastCancer in June 2022, including 4 surgeries, #chemo, and 6.5 wks of #ProtonTherapy #radiation). Wish I hadn't downloaded the app or asked this question.

Thought provoking (hypothesis-generating‼️) report in @IJROBP deserves accurate discussion on Twitter😉

🔵19 #HNSCC patients treated with #protontherapy vs photons

🔵PET evidence of ⬆️ mucosal inflammation at 3 months c/w increased RBE (max LET ~4-6 range)
