Really was looking forward to this journal, but not much "practical" stuff in it. Thought it would discuss clinical issues of importance to the practicing rad-onc, like going through the "horses" of clinical radonc instead of the zebras ... an intermediate prostate case or a IIIA NSCLC - and working through evidence based treatment planning ... Sort of like NEJM this week discussing diag/eval/tx of strep pharyngitis this week ...
- There is a case report of real time tracking in a peds patient vaginal rhabdo. Will bookmark that one for the next time I get a case like that.
- And the pre-op RT for extremity hamangiopericytoma. Have put in my "Pre-op RT for Random Diseases That I Don't Think I'll See In My Community Practice" folder.
- The steroids/Vit E/anti-coag for optic neuropathy was okay - I didn't know to consider using warfarin for these cases.
- Larynx mean dose with whole neck IMRT vs matching neck field was interesting, but a little misleading b/c if you use median use (as they did) the IMRT has higher dose to larynx, but if you use mean dose, then the two 3D techniques have higher dose (which they didn't mention).
Anyway, was hoping for a more "practical" focused journal for this simple community doc ...
