explain how the mechanism of plaquenil will worsen breast erythema with hypofrac? These patients hardly get any.
No idea, the original poster over at ROhub seemed to think it was worse....
Right because the patient had lupus and was Using the medication. Not sure how the hypofrac plays into it.
with hyoofracthe max toxicity often Occurs after completing treatment . With standard frac usually occurs prior to completing treatment. advantage of standard frac for cvd is that you can stop early if too much toxicity (or switch to boost early).
I saw that you liked it on twitter. That one kind of rubs me the wrong way because COVID fractionation schemes aren’t about patient convenience.
Sure about what though? I don’t disagree with what Simul is saying. I’m just saying that I didn’t agree with Vulcan’s choice of words because people using short courses right now is about more than patient convenience.
Don’t disagree that this probably exposed some practitioners to fractionation schemes they weren’t previously using and perhaps some will continue to use these after COVID is over, adding another dent in the market.
Personally I think A bigger impact of COVID is stuff like telehealth and relaxed supervision rules because these make the jobs of rad oncs easier and helps their pocketbooks if they require less people around. Rad oncs are likely to go back to longer fractionation schemes after COVID in order to recoup some money, but do agree that there will surely be some who had never done prostate hypofrac or 5-fraction breast that may like it and may be willing to take the financial hit

Do you all think trump might have just started a rad onc boom by recommending tbi for covid, +/- iv Lysol? Hahn's influence?
“Steve”, as Trump calls him, is not going to come out of this looking very good.
Still got the second half to go. Maybe he’ll start throwing down the field more, run some trick plays. Maybe the game will get cancelled!

It was my assumption while reading Ioannidis work, he is including all medical research. His other infamous quote, at least attributed to him, is that 90% of medical research is false (anyone verify?). I think any of us who have perused the literature (which I think includes all low-tier journals) would agree with the sentiment at least. In some video he shows the thousands of articles out there, which is crazy. There are definitely too many medical journals and rubbish articles out there (yes, I am guilty of writing some of those
).The well designed, randomized control trial, is definitely < 10% of the literature. Am I reading it wrong here?
Lol... Is Trump John Madden? To those that don’t know, John Madden loves him some Brett!
