Additionally, there was no correlation between level of #financialtoxicity and the type of planned #radiationtherapy, CyberKnife SBRT, or hypofractionated/conventional EBRT. Important to note that this was baseline survey prior to start of RT! Longitudinal data is being collected

Despite our prostate cancer patients being more likely to report low #financialtoxicity, those with high FT were still more likely to engage in cost-coping mechanisms like delaying or avoiding medical care and reducing spending on leisure, which can negatively impact outcomes and QoL

Federal Funding for Cancer Research As Congress negotiates Fiscal Year 2025 appropriations bills, urge them to make cancer research a top priority.

@cliffordhudis.bsky.social at #ASCO25: ~40% cut to NCI budget in Admin's '26 proposal. We are in a tragic paradox: remarkable science & historic cuts to resources needed to turn these opps into hope for millions of pts. Our advocacy, is more important than ever ➑️ brnw.ch/21wT3U4

Study Finds Standard Chemoradiation Therapy Superior to Deintensification Approaches for HPV-Related Oropharyngeal Cancer Current standard chemoradiation therapy remains the most effective treatment for selected patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal cancer, based on the results of the NRG-HN005 ...

"Deintensification of chemoradiation treatments for HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancers is of very high interest to patients and researchers, but our study makes clear that these approaches should remain experimental.”
