  • Summary

  • Episode Two of the “Real World LDRT” miniseries (sponsored by Xstrahl) is all "meat and potatoes", as the kids used to say (back when FDR was president).

    I start with a high-level overview of the laboratory evidence for LDRT, followed by how to get your first patient and what you say to them when they ask "how does this work??"

    Hint: it's like NSAIDs and prednisone, just a different pathway.

    We then explore my favorite CTSIM setups and target volumes/PTVs.

    Remember: 3 Gy in 6-every-other-day fractions, assess at 12 weeks, and deliver a second identical course if necessary/desired.

    It really is that easy.
