just the sheer commitment to getting rid of RT on so many fronts at the same time by itself is impressive.

I basically had no esophageal patients for the past year. But all the sudden I got several that went through the chemo and just said no way to the surgery after achieving a cCR on PET/EGD.

We still get goose. Some pts just aren't surgical
So they get 4cyc FLOT (surgeon says no way) then basically Cross after that?

The patient declines to go through with esophagectomy after FLOT (despite that being the initial up front plan) so then standard chemo/RT to 50.4 Gy is offered.

The guy in the middle frame looks perfectly identical to a certain rad onc on the east coast. Which makes this even more hilarious.

Haven't seen a tomo plan since residency but from what I recall back then it was a garbage machine with planning taking all night and lots of limitations on SBRT and it was down a lot.
I guess that's what the video was trying to get at?

I think there were a lot of satirical elements in the video haha. Someone should just write a paper describing all the elements of rad onc culture that show up in internet memes and submit it to the red journal. But with lots of examples lol

Tomo does a few things decently well. Homogeneous VMAT plans, sure. Long fields that would normally take two isos, sure.
That's about it. Everything else it does much worse than a TB. Lord help you if you're doing SBRT on a Tomo. The like entire planning system literally can't fathom not having a maximum heterogeneity of 107-110%

Tomo was never designed to deliver SBRT but some chose to use it that way. IIRC - they had started to develop real time imaging with an imager that would move with the patient. But after Accuray purchased them they had no plans to develop a machine that would compete with Cyberknife.
