Rad Onc Meme Thread

Members don't see this ad.

Noticed that the term “mentorship” is starting to be thrown around. It smacks of “grooming.”

You can’t spell “mentorship” without “men”!

Fighting SDN by daylight

Always running from the real fight
They are the ones called Rad Onc chairs

The tragedy of jondunn

Act #1 - Off-topic posts, fighting with other posters

Act #2 - Gets a temporary ban

Act #3 - Returns and continues the same shenanigans as before

Act #4 - Permabanned

I do PCI to make other rad oncs mad, some med oncs really mad, and all the LS-SCLC patients live longer

I generally just let the patient tell me to omit it.

Don't think this one's been done yet. For those who dabble in the dark side / dark arts of PTV editing...

Forgive my ignorance.

What's TC/PC?

Oh.. technical charges/professional charges?

A dear colleague made this.

Hiring a medical physicist is almost impossible right now. Which is great for them in the short term. Medium term, it definitely wouldn't surprise me if hospitals just said F-it and outsourced/automated most of those jobs away.

So true... Definitely a big issue right now with poaching from surrounding practices, treat your staff/physicist really well, speaking of, time to go get him a bottle of Blanton's for xmas

It's not that bad in Europe and I think the rise of AI as well as increasing automation of a lot of things that physicists used to do manually, may cause a shrinkage in the necessary workforce. But we are clearly not there yet.

We automated our breast planning to IMRT from FnF, and that caused an increase in physics workload by a fair amount actually, just due to the increased plan QA needs. I agree with Palex - not there yet.

Physicists have sold many of us the line that per-patient IMRT QA must be done, forever... because safety. In reality it's probably because: (physicist) job security. Hope it goes away someday. Many academic institutions have abandoned the per-patient QA process FWIW.

some larger places have experimented with abandoning ArcCheck… a minority now AFAIK

I've heard that it comes down to have an independent third-party verification? Rather the software just spits out what the machine says and is part of the Linacs in house software?

Totally. Have worked at places that do both.

I'd literally pay 500$ for these guys to redo this into "Don't pay ASTRO"






Can a brutha get a gofundme going?

Please?

It would be incredibly smart for the company to give genesis so many for cheap. This is how it happens.

It will take sometime but now that they have a clinical trial they can POINT to (unlike what we have seen in proton) there will be patients wanting this. Get ready to compete against your local genesis. Then next thing you know your hospital is getting one.

These mri Linac companies are doing it well.

I think the joke is .. fine .. but I’ve never once supported artificial regulations prop up the job market.

We can start paying us to dig ditches at our FMV, but that’s just not a great long term solution.

Radiotherapy Enhances Metastasis Through Immune Suppression by Inducing PD-L1 and MDSC in Distal Sites

AbstractPurpose:. Radiotherapy (RT) is a widely employed anticancer treatment. Emerging evidence suggests that RT can elicit both tumor-inhibiting and tumor-promoting immune effects. The purpose of this study is to investigate immune suppressive factors of radiotherapy.Experimental Design:. We...
