If he had gotten SBRT, he would have left 5 minutes after the procedure….
Just saying….
It’s lovely to see @Pontifex leaving the hospital POD#4 after having lung cancer surgery 🫁 on Tuesday. Praying for his fast recovery
( FYI: most patients that undergo robotic lung surgery do leave the hospital within days- surgical techniques have improved)

PACE-A: 8-year results 🧠
SBRT vs prostatectomy in localized prostate cancer:
☢️ 8-y BCF-free: 91.2% vs 83.7%
🚻 ≥1 urinary pad: 8.3% vs 48%
🦠 Moderate/big bowel problems: 0% vs 3.6%
⚕️ Grade ≥2 GU toxicity: 3.8% vs 2.5%

Prostate cancer paper of the day
WOLVERINE — metastasis-directed therapy in oligometastatic #prostatecancer (@TheLancetOncol, Feb 2026)
IPD meta-analysis of phase 2 RCTs (7 trials, n=574; MDT+SOC vs SOC primary set n=472)
• PFS: HR 0.45 (patient-level)
• Radiographic PFS: HR 0.59
• Castration-resistance–free survival: HR 0.58
• OS: HR 0.64 (not statistically significant)
Takeaway: MDT improves disease-control endpoints in oligometastatic disease across trials.
Caveat: OS still unproven — more mature data needed.

Amici radio‑oncologi👋🏼
con i colleghi del Gruppo GU AIRO, abbiamo preparato una survey sulla recidiva biochimica post-prostatectomia, per arrivare a pillole pratiche condivise su necessità reali💊🎯
⏳Servono solo 5 minuti

#PCa #bcr #RadOnc #survey
Today, 7 September, we celebrate #WorldRadiotherapyAwarenessDay. 🌍🧡
#Radiotherapy is a cornerstone of #cancercare, yet access remains unequal worldwide.
Let’s raise #awareness and #support equitable access to safe, effective and modern radiotherapy for every patient.

One of #radonc oldest dogmas:
No full bladder, no treatment.
Countless patients have spent years anxiously drinking water, waiting, and hoping they got it "just right."
We asked a simple question: Do we really need a full bladder for prostate SBRT?

“How to’ do SBRT in prostate cancer” consensus recommendations is to define minimum requirements, common practices and additional options for prostate SBRT based on scientific evidence, expert opinion and consensus. @RO_GreenJournal @ESTRO_RT

This is so cool!!! Thanks @TheLancetOncol #radonc
Kidney SABR on the front cover of @TheLancetOncol. A well-deserved recognition for @_ShankarSiva for his work and efforts over the past 10+ years.

A perfect example of where beautiful dosimetric arguments do not pan out for patient benefit. Hence, we run trials.
And maybe we should reconsider dosimetry. I’m sure it matters! But we may be focusing on the wrong metrics. @NehaVapiwala @CZamboglou @alison_tree

Now we have PARTIQoL and COMPPARE….message is quite clear as to if there is any benefit of protons for localized prostate cancer.
@DrSpratticus @seanmmcbride @TylerSbrt
Kicking off the GU Rapid Oral Session at #ASCO26, #NancyMendenhall presents early results from COMPPARE, showing comparable bowel outcomes, grade ≥2 GI toxicity (5.2% vs 5.6%), and 3-year FFBP (98.0% vs 97.9%) in LPC. #ASCO26 #ProstateCancer @ASCO @OncoAlert
Ieri, presso la Camera dei Deputati, durante la II edizione degli Stati Generali della Radioterapia Oncologica promossa da #AIRO, il confronto si è concentrato su formazione, innovazione e futuro!

Yesterday, I presented the @GETUG_Unicancer PEACE 2 trial at #ESTRO26 on the role of pelvic RT in very high risk #prostatecancer pts (staged with conventional imaging).
Twittorial below
Key conclusion: pelvic RT did not improve clinical outcomes (cPFS, MFS, PCSS, OS)...
1/n

📣 #ESTRO26 - @UmbertoRicardo e2irradiate @EORTC prospective OLIGOCARE registry of SABR for oligomets. ~2500 patients, ~3500 mets.
➡️ local failure 5% at 1 year and 11% at 3 years
➡️ Colorectal cancer has higher risk of progression
➡️ minimum PTV dose correlated with outcome
We should aim to deliver high quality SABR to optimise control! #radonc
🔬 PEACE 2 phase III: Adding pelvic RT to prostate RT + 3y ADT in very high-risk localized prostate cancer did NOT improve bPFS, MFS, CSS or OS. Borderline cPFS signal (HR 0.81, p=0.09). No added AEs. @PBlanchard_MD #ESTRO2026. @VedangMurthy what now?
