Honored to present at #ASCOQLTY25!
Our work shows #PatientNavigation drives timely care completion: improved survival, less stress, & enhanced health equity.
Excited to share again later this month at the @NorthwellHealth Poster Contest for @myNAHQ #HealthcareQualityWeek!
Truly impressive presentations by @NorthwellHealth trainees at #ASCOQLTY25!
Always great to see young minds advancing #Quality in oncology.

Data from @ASTRO_org's #PriorAuth survey exposes the human cost:
✅ 82% of PA initial denials eventually overturned, yet:
❗️ PA➡️delays; often ≥5 days.
‼️ 30% serious patient complications ☠️
Time to #FixPriorAuth now!

ASTRO is deeply disturbed by the inaccurate, inappropriate, and irresponsible NBC News piece on IORT. We feel this story harms care for breast cancer patients & have strongly rebutted it through our Breast Cancer Resource Panel & a letter from ASTRO CEO, Vivek S Kavadi, MD to NBC News.

During the same poster session, Prof. Cao presented a poster by Pelei Kpohou (Class of 2026) and Prof. Huang , titled "Retrospective Assessment of Model-Based Dose Calculation Algorithm and AAPM TG-43 Formalism in HDR Brachytherapy with H.A.M. Applicators."

Partnerships like this are how innovation happens. We’re joining forces with @NorthwellHealth to bring trusted, evidence-based radiation oncology protocols directly into the Lumonus AI platform.

Our field gets a bad rap, but quality & patient safety are paramount.
Accreditation ensures our commitment to excellence, and that’s why it's vital for #ROCR!
APEx visits always reinforce the incredible work being done. Let's champion our quality!

An intriguing poster at #ASTRO25 demonstrates that major North American TV Shows are leading viewers to believe radiation might cause "internal melting, burning, or crumbling, or even a food allergy". @ASTRO_org @PRJeffWhite @NehaVapiwala @sueyom poster.astro.org/astro/2025/…
🚨flash challenge🚨
FYI @ASTRO_org PAC is looking for our help and support.
There may be some additional gratitude for those who pledge their support monthly…

Loved catching up with my old college roommate (now a brilliant interventional cardiologist @UCSF)!

Powerful insights from the #ASTRO25 Presidential Symposium!
Thank you 🙏 @SameerKeoleMD @gbajajmd @amar_rewari
